Canon Raw CIFF Image Format (.crw)

The CRW file extension stands for Canon Raw CIFF Image Format, a raw image file format used by Canon digital cameras. Developed to store uncompressed and unprocessed images, CRW files offer high-quality image data that can be edited with Canon's software or third-party editors like Adobe Photoshop. Introduced by Canon, this format has been largely superseded by newer formats like CR2 and CR3 but remains significant in the history of digital photography for its role in preserving image integrity.

Continuous Acquisition and Life-cycle Support Type 1 Image (.cals)

The CALS (Continuous Acquisition and Life-cycle Support) Type 1 Image file format, developed by the United States Department of Defense in the mid-1980s, is a standard for storing raster (bit-mapped) image data, typically black-and-white. It ensures efficient data interchange and retention of orientation metadata. The format supports both uncompressed and compressed (using CCITT Group 4 compression) images. This standard was part of the broader CALS initiative aimed at improving electronic publishing and data management within the federal government.
