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.

Initial release: 2000
SK is the native file format of Skencil (originally named Sketch), a free vector graphics editor for Linux created by Bernhard Herzog, with the first public release on October 31, 1998. Skencil holds historical significance as one of the earliest full-featured vector drawing applications written almost entirely in Python, with only performance-critical rendering components implemented in C. The SK file format uses a text-based, Python-like syntax to describe document structure — pages, layers, groups, and individual graphic objects are represented as nested statements with parameters specifying coordinates, colors, line styles, and transformations. The format supports Bezier curves, rectangles, ellipses, text objects with font specifications, imported raster images, gradient and pattern fills, and hierarchical grouping with affine transforms. One advantage is human readability — SK files can be opened in any text editor, making it possible to inspect, modify, or generate artwork programmatically using simple scripts. The Python-native structure also provides a benefit for automation: since Skencil itself is a Python application, the file format integrates naturally with scripting workflows for batch processing and procedural graphic generation. While Skencil's development slowed after the mid-2000s, its SK format became the foundation for the sK1 project, which extended the format and continued active open-source vector graphics development. SK files remain convertible through sK1, UniConvertor, and other open-source tools.
