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.
Developer: Hasselblad
Initial release: 2005
WBMP (Wireless Bitmap) is a monochrome (1-bit, black and white) image format defined as part of the Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) specification, developed by the WAP Forum (later consolidated into the Open Mobile Alliance) around 1998. The format was designed for the extremely constrained mobile devices of the late 1990s and early 2000s — phones with small monochrome screens, minimal processing power, and narrow bandwidth GSM data connections. WBMP uses the simplest possible encoding: a type identifier byte (always 0 for the only defined type), width and height encoded as multi-byte integers using a variable-length scheme, and the raw pixel data where each bit represents one pixel (0 for white, 1 for black) packed eight per byte. There is no compression, no metadata, and no color — the format is purely a minimal container for delivering small monochrome graphics to WAP-era mobile browsers. One advantage was extreme efficiency on constrained devices — WBMP images could be decoded with virtually zero CPU overhead and minimal memory, critical on early mobile hardware running at single-digit megahertz clock speeds. The tiny file sizes are another strength: a typical WBMP icon occupied just a few hundred bytes, practical for transfer over 9.6 kbps GSM data channels. While the WAP ecosystem has been entirely superseded by modern mobile web browsers capable of rendering full-color JPEG, PNG, and WebP images, WBMP files remain encountered in archived mobile content from that transitional era.
