- 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.
- A TIFF file is a graphics container that stores raster images. It may contain high-quality graphics that support color depths from 1 to 24-bit and supports both lossy and lossless compression. TIFF files also support multiple layers and pages.
