- Description
- The CRW file format is a type of raw image file created by Canon digital cameras. It stands for Canon Raw CIFF (Camera Image File Format), which is a proprietary file format developed by Canon for capturing all the image data recorded by the camera's sensor when a photo is taken. Unlike JPEG or other compressed image formats, CRW files contain uncompressed and unprocessed data, offering photographers a higher degree of control over image adjustments such as exposure, white balance, and color corrections during the post-processing.
- Better Portable Graphics (BPG) image format created to replace the JPEG format; provides the same quality as JPEG images but in a smaller file size; supports lossless compression; natively supports 8 to 14 bits per channel.
