RAW is a file type that gives the photographer more control over photo editing. RAW is considered a digital negative, where the default JPEG file type has already been processed a bit. RAW requires special software to open, however, while JPEG is more universal.
Different Camera Companies make different RAW files:
- Adobe: .DNG
- Canon: .CR2
- Nikon: .NEF
- Olympus: .ORF
