The structure of raw files often follows a common pattern: Raw files contain the information required to produce a viewable image from the camera's sensor data.

Most raw image file formats store information sensed according to the geometry of the sensor's individual photo-receptive elements (sometimes called pixels) rather than points in the expected final image: sensors with hexagonal element displacement, for example, record information for each of their hexagonally-displaced cells, which a decoding software will eventually transform into the rectangular geometry during "digital developing". Raw image formats are intended to capture the radiometric characteristics of the scene, that is, physical information about the light intensity and color of the scene, at the best of the camera sensor's performance. The purpose of raw image formats is to save, with minimum loss of information, data obtained from the sensor. Unlike physical film after development, the Raw file preserves the information captured at the time of exposure. Like undeveloped photographic film, a raw digital image may have a wider dynamic range or color gamut than the developed film or print. (With exposed film, development is a single event that physically transforms the unexposed film irreversibly.) Rather, the Raw datasets are more like exposed but undeveloped film which can be converted (electronically developed) in a non-destructive manner multiple times in observable, reversible steps to reach a visually desired image. Raw image files are sometimes incorrectly described as "digital negatives", but neither are they negatives nor do the unprocessed files constitute visible images.

FASTRAWVIEWER CONVERT TO TIFF HOW TO

In summary, to display a RAW image one needs to know the color space (white balance is a part of this), the internal data format, one must account for linear Gamma, compose RGB triplets, and it is very important to know how to unpack RAW data fast enough to not cause discomfort. However, JPEG is a recognized image format, and thus RAW also should be recognized as an image format. In both cases - either JPEG or RAW - we need to apply some unpacking and interpolation procedures to display the image.

With JPEG images we also do not have full color data at each pixel location moreover - internally, a regular JPEG does not even contain RGB data. Yes, it is most often mosaicked (Bayer pattern RGBG) data, meaning we don't have RGB triplets for each pixel. It is the same for TIFF files and for RAW files. and 2., all one needs is banal color management. To display an image correctly, be it RAW, TIFF, JPEG, or PNG, we always take Gamma into account, otherwise the image looks either under- or over-exposed, with wrong contrast. This is not really a difference because any popular image format can be coded with any Gamma value. RAW images are linear, that is they have γ=1.0 and thus look dark (underexposed) and flat if the correct Gamma γ=1.0 is not assigned to data. In fact it is a mismatched Gamma (γ) issue. As usual, all we need to do is assign proper "color space" to the data. To display an image correctly we need to convert it from the associated "color space" to monitor color space, otherwise the color looks off and may even look funny.Ī RAW image is recorded in the sensor's "color space." So nothing is really new here.

What is said to set RAW data apart from traditional images:Įvery image has a "color space" implicitly or explicitly associated with it, and it needs to be respected. In fact, RAW is an image, but in a less familiar format. This particular misconception is extremely convenient and is often used as an excuse by those trying to explain why it is only natural that most image viewers display embedded JPEG instead of RAW, JPEG-based histogram instead of RAW histogram, and over- and underexposure indicators derived from JPEG previews. Yes, how often do we hear this myth: RAW is not an image. "There is not much sense in RAW viewers - one can't view "RAW images" anyway because RAW is not an image at all". I also have FastStone Image Viewer, but rightly or wrongly thought that it was showing the jpeg.ĭispelling a Myth: Viewing RAW is Impossible

FASTRAWVIEWER CONVERT TO TIFF TRIAL

I think they still have a free 30 day trial after which it is $19.99 / 18€ to buy. If you are interested, you can check it out at. I'm using a program, "FastRawViewer" and really like it.
