The X3F file extension, associated with Sigma Digital Camera Raw Image File, is a proprietary format created by Sigma Corporation for cameras with Foveon X3 sensors. X3F files store raw image data, capturing full-color information at each pixel for enhanced color accuracy and detailed post-processing. This format includes metadata, thumbnails, and preview images, offering photographers comprehensive control over their images. While primarily processed with Sigma Photo Pro software, X3F files are also supported by plugins for popular photo editing software like Adobe Photoshop.
