About formats

RW2 is the proprietary RAW image format used by Panasonic Lumix digital cameras, introduced in 2008 with the Lumix DMC-G1 — the world's first Micro Four Thirds mirrorless camera — and used across the entire Lumix lineup including the full-frame S-series. RW2 files capture the unprocessed 12-bit or 14-bit readout from the camera's CMOS sensor in its native Bayer mosaic pattern, stored in a TIFF-based container with lossy or lossless compression options depending on the camera model. The format records extensive metadata through Panasonic's proprietary MakerNote tags, including lens identification for both native and adapted optics, body and lens firmware versions, image stabilization data from Panasonic's Dual I.S. system, and Photo Style settings (Standard, Vivid, Natural, L.Monochrome, Cinelike D/V, and others). RW2 files from video-centric models like the GH series also store the settings context for their renowned video capabilities, though the RAW files themselves are still-image captures. Panasonic cameras introduced several innovations — contrast-detect AF, DFD (Depth from Defocus) focusing, and Dual Native ISO — and the RW2 format preserves the data needed to leverage these technologies during post-processing. One advantage is the format's connection to Panasonic's imaging innovation: RW2 files from cameras like the GH5 and S1H preserve the sensor output from bodies at the intersection of stills and cinema, valued by hybrid shooters. The format is supported by Adobe Lightroom, Capture One, DxO, Panasonic's SILKYPIX-based RAW converter, dcraw, and RawTherapee.

AI (Adobe Illustrator Artwork) is the native file format of Adobe Illustrator, the industry-standard vector graphics editor first released in January 1987 for the Apple Macintosh. Early versions of the format were based on the PostScript page description language, with each file being a conforming EPS document that could be placed in other layouts and interpreted by PostScript printers. Starting with Illustrator 9 in 2000, Adobe transitioned the AI format to a PDF-based structure, embedding Illustrator-specific editing data within a valid PDF wrapper — this dual nature means modern AI files can be opened in any PDF viewer for display, while preserving the full editable artwork including layers, artboards, and live effects when reopened in Illustrator. The format supports complex vector constructs like gradient meshes, clipping masks, symbol libraries, transparency blending modes, and multiple artboards within a single document. One significant advantage is lossless scalability — artwork maintains perfect precision at any size, from favicon to billboard, because geometry is defined mathematically rather than as pixels. Deep integration with the Adobe Creative Cloud ecosystem is another strength, enabling seamless round-tripping between Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign, and After Effects without format conversion. AI remains the de facto standard for professional illustration, logo design, and print production workflows worldwide.
