About formats

SR2 is an early proprietary RAW image format used by Sony for select digital camera models, most notably the Cyber-shot DSC-R1 released in 2005 — a unique fixed-lens camera featuring a large APS-C CMOS sensor that was Sony's first to use this sensor size in a compact body. SR2 files capture the unprocessed 12-bit readout from the camera's sensor in its native Bayer mosaic pattern, preserving the full dynamic range and color information before any demosaicing, white balance adjustment, or tonal processing. The format uses a TIFF-based container structure with Sony-specific metadata tags and lossless compression to keep file sizes manageable while maintaining bit-perfect sensor data preservation. SR2 represents a transitional format in Sony's imaging history: it succeeded the earlier SRF format and preceded the ARW format that would become Sony's standard RAW format across the Alpha mirrorless and DSLR lineup from 2006 onward. The DSC-R1's APS-C sensor paired with a fixed Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar zoom lens made it an unusual proposition — essentially a compact camera with DSLR-class image quality — and SR2 files from this camera are valued by collectors. One advantage is the preservation of data from a unique camera design: the DSC-R1's combination of large sensor and fixed optics produced a distinct imaging character, and SR2 files retain the full RAW flexibility to explore this character with modern processing tools. SR2 files are supported by Adobe Lightroom, Adobe Camera Raw, dcraw, LibRaw, and RawTherapee.

AW is the document format of Applix Words, the word processor component of the Applix office suite (later renamed Anyware Office) developed by Applix, Inc. for Unix and Linux workstations. The suite targeted enterprise Unix environments during the 1990s, providing word processing, spreadsheet, graphics, and presentation capabilities on platforms like Solaris, HP-UX, AIX, and Linux where Microsoft Office was unavailable. AW files store formatted text documents with support for character and paragraph styling, page layout, tables, headers and footers, and embedded graphics. The format uses a proprietary binary structure optimized for the Applix application's internal document model. Applix Words gained particular visibility in the Linux community during the late 1990s when it was bundled with several commercial Linux distributions as their default word processor before OpenOffice.org became widely available. One advantage was native Unix platform support — Applix provided professional word processing capabilities on Unix workstations at a time when few commercial alternatives existed. The format's tight integration with other Applix suite components enabled cross-referencing between word processing documents, spreadsheets, and presentations. Applix was acquired by Cognos in 2003, and the office suite was discontinued. AW files are primarily encountered today in archived documents from Unix enterprise environments of the 1990s and early 2000s.
