- Description
- The MEF file format stands for Mamiya RAW Image and is used to store images captured by Mamiya digital cameras, a brand known for its medium format cameras and lenses. Similar to other RAW image formats, MEF files contain all the data captured by the camera's sensor, without any in-camera processing or compression. This allows photographers to have greater control over photo editing, enabling them to adjust exposure, white balance, and other parameters without loss of image quality.
- The VICAR (Video Image Communication And Retrieval) Image file format is a flexible, image-processing and data format system used primarily by the planetary science community. Developed by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) for storing and managing digital images from space missions, VICAR files are designed to support a wide range of image types, including scientific and engineering data from various spacecraft instruments. This format is characterized by its ability to handle multi-dimensional arrays of data.
