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.
VIPS is a libvips file format mainly used for calculations, but it can also store images. The main advantage is that it has no size limit; it's fast and straightforward. Nonetheless, most applications can't view it, so converting it to a more popular format is the only way to work around it.
