About formats

RAF (RAW Format) is the proprietary RAW image format used by Fujifilm digital cameras, introduced in 2000 with the FinePix S1 Pro and continuing through the entire X-series mirrorless lineup and GFX medium-format system. RAF files capture the unprocessed readout from Fujifilm's image sensors — notably the SuperCCD, EXR, and X-Trans sensor designs — at 12 or 14 bits per channel, preserving the complete tonal and color information before any in-camera processing. What makes RAF distinctive among RAW formats is Fujifilm's X-Trans color filter array: instead of the standard 2x2 Bayer RGGB pattern used by virtually all other manufacturers, X-Trans uses a 6x6 semi-random pattern that distributes color samples more organically, reducing moire and false color without requiring an optical low-pass filter. RAF files from X-Trans sensors require specialized demosaicing algorithms that differ from standard Bayer processing. The format stores extensive metadata including Fujifilm's Film Simulation mode selection (Provia, Velvia, Astia, Classic Chrome, Acros, and others inspired by their analog film stocks), grain effect settings, dynamic range mode, and lens correction data for Fujinon XF and XC optics. One advantage is the Film Simulation heritage — Fujifilm's decades of film emulsion expertise informs the color science embedded in RAF metadata, and photographers can switch between film-inspired renderings during post-processing without quality loss. RAF files are supported by Adobe Lightroom, Capture One, Fujifilm's own X RAW Studio, dcraw, RawTherapee, and other major RAW processors.
Developer: Fujifilm
Initial release: 2000
JPEG is one of the most widely used image formats in computing, standardized by the Joint Photographic Experts Group and published as ISO/IEC 10918-1 in September 1992. The .jpeg extension is functionally identical to .jpg — both contain the same JFIF or Exif-wrapped JPEG compressed image data. The format applies lossy compression using the discrete cosine transform (DCT): images are divided into 8x8 pixel blocks, transformed into frequency coefficients, quantized to discard visually less significant information, and entropy-coded for storage. The quality-to-size tradeoff is user-selectable, with typical settings producing files 10-20 times smaller than uncompressed originals at visually acceptable quality. JPEG supports 8-bit grayscale and 24-bit color, with Exif metadata carrying camera settings, GPS coordinates, timestamps, and thumbnails. One advantage is absolute universality — JPEG is readable by every image viewer, web browser, operating system, camera, phone, and printer manufactured in the past three decades, making it the safest format for sharing photographic images with any recipient. The efficient compression of continuous-tone photographic content is another core strength: JPEG consistently produces compact files from camera sensors and real-world scenes where subtle color gradients dominate. While newer formats like WebP and AVIF achieve better compression ratios, JPEG's installed base is so vast that it remains the default output of digital cameras and the most common image format on the web.
