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.

PSD (Photoshop Document) is the native file format of Adobe Photoshop, the industry-standard raster image editor first released on February 19, 1990. PSD files preserve the complete editing state of a Photoshop project: all layers (raster, text, adjustment, shape, and smart object layers) with their positions, blending modes, opacity, and layer effects; layer masks and vector masks; alpha channels; spot color channels; paths; guides; slices; and the full undo history. The format supports images up to 30,000 x 30,000 pixels (PSB, the large document format, extends this to 300,000 x 300,000) in color modes including RGB, CMYK, Lab, Grayscale, Indexed, Duotone, and Multichannel, at 1, 8, 16, or 32 bits per channel. PSD files use a combination of RLE compression for individual layer data and store composite (flattened) preview images for quick display by applications that cannot parse the full layer structure. The format has become a de facto standard for professional creative workflows far beyond Photoshop itself — photographers, graphic designers, web developers, and video post-production artists exchange PSD files as the working format that preserves creative flexibility. One advantage is the non-destructive editing model: PSD preserves every layer, mask, adjustment, and effect as independently editable elements, allowing creative decisions to be revised at any point without starting over. The format's role as the interchange standard for the creative industry provides another core strength — PSD files can be opened by Adobe Illustrator, InDesign, After Effects, Premiere Pro, as well as Affinity Photo, GIMP, Sketch, Figma, and Photopea, making it the lingua franca of visual design.
