- 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.
- The XPM (X11 Pixmap Graphic) file format is a plain text file format used to store pixmap images, which are pixel-based graphics. It is designed for use with the X Window System, commonly used in Unix and Linux environments. XPM files define images in a structured format, using ASCII text to describe each pixel's color and location within the image. This format supports both monochrome and color images and allows for the definition of custom color palettes.
