How to open RAW file?
What is RAW file extension?
The RAW extension is given to files that store raw, raw bitmap images. The data in such files most often come from the data capture from the photosensitive detector in the device for recording digital images. Files in RAW format are saved without using any compression, and each pixel of the image is defined by 12 or 14 bits. Raw RAW format is used in many digital cameras, but files may have different extensions depending on the device manufacturer.
