Raw Image Data File (.raw)

The RAW file extension, standing for "Raw Image Data File", is used to store unprocessed image data captured by digital cameras or scanners. This format preserves the highest level of detail and dynamic range, allowing for extensive post-processing without quality loss. Originating in the early days of digital photography, RAW files have become essential for professional photographers and graphic designers who require maximum control over image adjustments such as exposure, white balance, and color correction. The format's ability to retain all sensor data makes it invaluable for producing high-quality, editable images.

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.
