=== Definition ===
'''RAW''' refers to a group of some hundred [[Image format|image formats]] proprietary to the respective camera manufacturers.

They all have in common that they contain the unprossesed data as it comes from the analog/digital (A/D) converter. This files need to be processed - at least interpolated, since the color information for most of them is located in different pixels - and converted to a common [[image format]] to be viewed or otherwise used. They might contain additional data comparable to the [[EXIF]] information.

=== RAW converters ===

There are numerous RAW converters but only few that can convert most or all RAW formats, most of them based on [[dcraw]] written by David J. Coffin. Most of them offer sophisticated ways to control [[white balance]], tonal range, contrast, shadow detail, exposure etc. Some even allow for correction of [[chromatic aberration]] or noise.

You can always try and find out how to extract more [[dynamic range]] from RAW files in these converters, but in order to get 16 bit per channel output files with full [[dynamic range]] follow the tutorial about [[RAW dynamic range extraction]].
