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.
ReplyDeleteThanks for pointing that out and if anyone wishes to read further just click on each of the acronyms to go to Wikiland where it is all explained further, much further.
By the way aleksi, I see you are from my area. Portland.
