About formats

RAF (RAW Format) is the proprietary RAW image format used by Fujifilm digital cameras, introduced in 2000 with the FinePix S1 Pro and continuing through the entire X-series mirrorless lineup and GFX medium-format system. RAF files capture the unprocessed readout from Fujifilm's image sensors — notably the SuperCCD, EXR, and X-Trans sensor designs — at 12 or 14 bits per channel, preserving the complete tonal and color information before any in-camera processing. What makes RAF distinctive among RAW formats is Fujifilm's X-Trans color filter array: instead of the standard 2x2 Bayer RGGB pattern used by virtually all other manufacturers, X-Trans uses a 6x6 semi-random pattern that distributes color samples more organically, reducing moire and false color without requiring an optical low-pass filter. RAF files from X-Trans sensors require specialized demosaicing algorithms that differ from standard Bayer processing. The format stores extensive metadata including Fujifilm's Film Simulation mode selection (Provia, Velvia, Astia, Classic Chrome, Acros, and others inspired by their analog film stocks), grain effect settings, dynamic range mode, and lens correction data for Fujinon XF and XC optics. One advantage is the Film Simulation heritage — Fujifilm's decades of film emulsion expertise informs the color science embedded in RAF metadata, and photographers can switch between film-inspired renderings during post-processing without quality loss. RAF files are supported by Adobe Lightroom, Capture One, Fujifilm's own X RAW Studio, dcraw, RawTherapee, and other major RAW processors.
Developer: Fujifilm
Initial release: 2000
EXR is a high-dynamic-range raster image format developed by Industrial Light & Magic (ILM) internally since 1999 and publicly released as open-source software in January 2003. OpenEXR was created to meet the demanding requirements of feature film visual effects compositing, where scenes routinely contain extreme brightness ranges — from deep shadows to specular highlights on water, metal, or light sources — that exceed the precision of 8-bit or 16-bit integer formats. EXR stores pixel data in 16-bit floating-point (half) or 32-bit floating-point per channel, providing over 30 stops of dynamic range with smooth precision across the entire luminance spectrum. The format supports an arbitrary number of channels (not just RGBA), tiled and scanline storage, multiple compression methods (lossless ZIP, lossy B44 and DWAA/DWAB for preview quality), multi-part files containing multiple views or layers, and deep pixel data where each pixel stores multiple depth-sorted samples for volumetric effects. One advantage is compositing fidelity: the floating-point precision means that color grading, exposure adjustments, lighting changes, and multi-layer compositing operations produce mathematically correct results without the banding, clipping, or quantization artifacts inherent in integer formats. EXR's adoption as the VFX industry standard is another core strength — it is the default interchange format for Foundry Nuke, Autodesk Flame, Blackmagic Fusion, Adobe After Effects, and every major 3D renderer, and its open-source C++ library is embedded in hundreds of production tools.
Initial release: January 2003
