- 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.
- Group 4 (G4) used for black and white lossless compression to maintain high-quality images, commonly used in TIFF format compression by fax machines. A picture is seen as black dots and lines on a blank page; the fewer the dots and lines are, the lesser the file size.
