About formats

RW2 is the proprietary RAW image format used by Panasonic Lumix digital cameras, introduced in 2008 with the Lumix DMC-G1 — the world's first Micro Four Thirds mirrorless camera — and used across the entire Lumix lineup including the full-frame S-series. RW2 files capture the unprocessed 12-bit or 14-bit readout from the camera's CMOS sensor in its native Bayer mosaic pattern, stored in a TIFF-based container with lossy or lossless compression options depending on the camera model. The format records extensive metadata through Panasonic's proprietary MakerNote tags, including lens identification for both native and adapted optics, body and lens firmware versions, image stabilization data from Panasonic's Dual I.S. system, and Photo Style settings (Standard, Vivid, Natural, L.Monochrome, Cinelike D/V, and others). RW2 files from video-centric models like the GH series also store the settings context for their renowned video capabilities, though the RAW files themselves are still-image captures. Panasonic cameras introduced several innovations — contrast-detect AF, DFD (Depth from Defocus) focusing, and Dual Native ISO — and the RW2 format preserves the data needed to leverage these technologies during post-processing. One advantage is the format's connection to Panasonic's imaging innovation: RW2 files from cameras like the GH5 and S1H preserve the sensor output from bodies at the intersection of stills and cinema, valued by hybrid shooters. The format is supported by Adobe Lightroom, Capture One, DxO, Panasonic's SILKYPIX-based RAW converter, dcraw, and RawTherapee.

DjVu (pronounced "deja vu") is a document format developed at AT&T Labs by Yann LeCun, Leon Bottou, Patrick Haffner, and Paul Howard, first released in 1996. The format was specifically designed for storing scanned documents and images at very high compression ratios while maintaining visual quality suitable for on-screen reading. DjVu achieves this through a layered approach: the document image is separated into a foreground layer (text and line art at full resolution), a background layer (photographs and textures at reduced resolution), and a mask layer that determines which layer is visible at each pixel. This separation, combined with purpose-built compression algorithms for each layer type, typically produces files 5-10 times smaller than equivalent JPEG or PDF scans. One advantage is exceptional compression on scanned pages — a 300 DPI color scan that might occupy 25 MB as TIFF or 500 KB as JPEG typically compresses to 40-80 KB in DjVu while preserving legible text. The progressive rendering model is another strength: DjVu files stream efficiently over networks, displaying a readable low-resolution version almost immediately while progressively refining to full quality. The format supports multi-page documents, embedded text layers for searchability, hyperlinks, annotations, and a shared dictionary mechanism that further compresses collections of similar pages. DjVu is widely used by libraries and archives for digitized historical documents and manuscripts.
