Epson Raw File (.erf)

The ERF, which refers to Epson Raw File, is a proprietary format used by Epson digital cameras to store uncompressed image data, capturing all sensor details. This format enables high-quality images and extensive post-processing flexibility. ERF files can be edited with specialized software, and some Epson cameras include a utility for basic adjustments. Although ERF files are large and require more storage and processing power, they are preferred by professional photographers for their superior quality and editing capabilities.

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.
