- 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.
- The VDA file format, short for Targa Bitmap Image File, is a variant of the TGA file format (Truevision Advanced Raster Graphics Adapter) used for storing digital images. Developed by Truevision Inc., VDA files are raster graphics files that support various color depths, ranging from 1 to 32 bits per pixel, which includes support for alpha channels and compression. This format is designed to be highly flexible and is capable of storing high-quality images used in video editing and animations.
