About formats

NRW is a variant of Nikon's RAW image format used specifically by their COOLPIX advanced compact cameras, introduced in 2008 with models like the COOLPIX P6000. While functionally similar to NEF (Nikon Electronic Format) in preserving unprocessed sensor data, NRW uses a simplified container structure tailored to the compact camera platform's processing constraints and smaller sensor sizes. NRW files store 12-bit raw Bayer-pattern data from the camera's smaller-format CMOS or CCD sensor, along with embedded JPEG thumbnails, basic EXIF metadata, and a subset of Nikon's MakerNote information. The format was designed for the COOLPIX cameras that bridged the gap between consumer point-and-shoots and interchangeable-lens systems — cameras like the P7000/P7100/P7700/P7800 series and the P330/P340 that attracted enthusiasts wanting RAW flexibility in a pocketable body. Unlike the full NEF format, NRW files typically use a fixed compression scheme and omit some of the more extensive metadata found in NEF files from Nikon's SLR and mirrorless bodies. One advantage is that NRW provides genuine RAW capture flexibility in compact camera form factors where most competitors offered only JPEG — photographers can apply custom white balance, adjust exposure, and control noise reduction during post-processing rather than relying on the camera's built-in processing. Software compatibility is another strength: NRW files are supported by Adobe Lightroom, Adobe Camera Raw, Nikon's ViewNX/NX Studio, dcraw, and other major RAW processors.

RB is the native ebook format of the Rocket eBook, one of the first commercially available dedicated e-reading devices, developed by NuvoMedia and released in October 1998. Founded by Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning — who later co-founded Tesla Motors — NuvoMedia designed the Rocket eBook as a handheld device with a reflective LCD screen, capable of storing approximately ten books in its internal memory. The RB format packages HTML-based content along with embedded images, metadata, and a table of contents into a single binary container optimized for the device's limited hardware. Content was purchased and downloaded through NuvoMedia's RocketLibrarian desktop software. A notable advantage of the format was its early support for bookmarking, annotation, dictionary lookups, and adjustable font sizing — features now standard on modern e-readers but revolutionary in the late 1990s. The Rocket eBook demonstrated viable commercial demand for dedicated reading devices, paving the way for subsequent platforms from Sony, Amazon, and others. NuvoMedia was acquired by Gemstar-TV Guide International in 2000, which discontinued the device line in 2003. While RB files are largely a historical curiosity today, they can be converted to modern formats using ebook management tools, and the format remains significant as a pioneering chapter in the evolution of digital reading.
