Don't forget to add that most RAW files are actually .NEF or some other brand extention.
ReplyDeleteGood point aleksi. RAW is not a format but image data and can only be processed through a RAW converter such as Fuji's .raf, Olympus's .orf, Adobe's .dng, Nikon's .nef, Canon's .cr2 or a number of others.
