- Description
- It is a Panasonic camera (like LX5 and LX7) RAW image format file that is mainly used by professional photographers because it can be easily edited. Many applications can't open RW2 files, so you have to convert them into one of the popular image formats if you need to print the photos.
- This format is used to compress TIFF images when sending them via fax machines. This format helps reduce the data transmission time. Group 3 eliminates redundant data during compression in order to reduce file size. The standard 10:1 compression ratio may be increased to the user's preferences, but it can lead to a significant loss of image quality.
