- Description
- The X3F file format, also known as the SIGMA X3F Camera RAW File, is a proprietary image format developed by Sigma Corporation for storing raw image data captured by Sigma cameras equipped with the Foveon X3 sensor. Unlike standard JPEGs or TIFFs, X3F files contain unprocessed data from the camera's sensor, offering photographers greater flexibility in image editing.
- Created by Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC), SIXEL is a bitmap image format in an escaped sequence (seen as six pixels high and one pixel wide). You have to convert it into a more accessible format if you don’t have a DEC terminal to view it.
