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.

DEC Six Pixels (.sixel)

The SIXEL, or "six pixels", is a bitmap graphics format created by Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) for their terminals and printers. Initially designed for DEC dot matrix printers like the LA50, it enabled the efficient transfer of bitmap graphics using a series of ASCII characters. Each character represents a 6-pixel high row, making it suitable for 7-bit serial communication. This format was later adapted for modern terminal emulators, extending its utility beyond its original scope.
