About formats

3FR is the proprietary RAW image format used by Hasselblad medium-format digital cameras, introduced in 2005 with the H2D camera system. The format captures unprocessed sensor data from Hasselblad's large CCD and CMOS sensors, which range from 39 to over 100 megapixels in modern bodies, preserving the full dynamic range and color depth recorded by the hardware. 3FR files store 16-bit-per-channel data alongside extensive EXIF metadata including lens correction profiles, white balance readings, and GPS coordinates when available. The files are substantially larger than consumer RAW formats due to the medium-format sensor area — a single 100-megapixel capture can exceed 150 MB — but this size reflects the extraordinary detail captured. One advantage is unmatched tonal resolution: the combination of Hasselblad's sensor technology and 16-bit RAW capture yields images with exceptionally smooth gradients and outstanding highlight/shadow recovery latitude, making 3FR the format of choice for high-end fashion, landscape, and fine art photography. Another strength is color fidelity — Hasselblad's Natural Color Solution (HNCS) technology, embedded in 3FR metadata, provides an ICC profile tuned to each specific camera unit, delivering color accuracy that approaches laboratory reference standards. 3FR files can be processed in Hasselblad's own Phocus software, Adobe Lightroom, Capture One, and other major RAW converters that support the format.

KWD is the native document format of KWord, the word processor component of KOffice (later renamed Calligra Suite), developed by the KDE community with its first stable release in KOffice 1.0 in 2000. KWord distinguished itself from other word processors through a frame-based layout model where text, images, and other content existed in independent frames that could be positioned freely on the page, similar to desktop publishing applications — a departure from the linear text-flow approach used by most word processors. KWD files store document content in a compressed XML format that describes the frame hierarchy, text content with formatting markup, paragraph styles, page dimensions, headers, footers, and embedded media. The format uses a ZIP container packaging the XML document alongside any referenced images and resources. One advantage was the flexible frame-based layout — users could position text and image frames independently on the page, enabling newsletter-style layouts and creative document designs without switching to a dedicated DTP application. The open XML structure is another benefit, making KWD files transparent and accessible to automated processing. KWord was included in several Linux distributions as part of the KDE desktop environment during the 2000s. The project was eventually discontinued in favor of Calligra Words, which adopted the ODF standard. KWD files can be opened with legacy KOffice installations or converted through document conversion tools.
