Description🔵 ARW is a format used to store raw captured photos by Sony digital cameras without their compression to other file formats such as JPEG. The format adopts basic specifications from TIFF and maintains the full set of image data. In some cases, the data is minimally adjusted depending on the camera type or model. Unlike image file formats compressed like JPEG, files using ARW are larger, details and cannot be easily viewed. This means they require special programs that can be used in opening and converting them.
Technical details🔵 The ARW format provides its users with the freedom to make changes or adjustments to an image as they see fit. Converting ARW images allows viewing of images on internet browsers. The camera model used determines the type of format captured despite using a similar .arw file extension. This is possible due to the presence of sensor variations in cameras. The differences presented are significant determinants of the software used to view, convert, or store an image.

Description🔵 .xcf (eXperimental Computing Facility) The .xcf format is the native image file format of the GIMP software (GNU Image Manipulation Program). It's used for storing the entire composition including layers, channels, paths, and other elements that are part of a GIMP imageThe XCF format is designed to preserve all information GIMP can contain about an image; however, due to its specific nature, it's not widely supported outside of GIMP. For sharing, images in XCF format are often exported to more universally recognized formats like PNG or JPEG.
Technical details🔵 The GIF (Graphics Interchange Format), introduced by CompuServe in 1987, is a bitmap image format with these characteristics: - Color Limitation: Supports only 256 colors, making it suitable for graphics or logos but not for detailed photographs. - Animation Support: Stores multiple images for animated effects, popular for looping animations and web graphics. - Lossless Compression: Uses LZW compression, reducing file size without quality loss, effective for uniform color images. - Transparency Support: Allows background transparency in images. - Interlacing Option: Offers an interlaced format for quicker loading on slow connections. - Standardization: Original version (87a) in 1987, enhanced version (GIF89a) in 1989 with animation and transparency improvements. - Aspect Ratio: Lacks inherent aspect ratio support. - Applications: Commonly used online for animation and transparency, less so for high-quality photography due to color limits. - No Audio Support: Cannot embed sound. - Metadata: Limited metadata compared to formats like JPEG. - Browser Support: Broadly supported in web browsers and image viewers. - Patent Issues: LZW compression was patented, leading to controversy and PNG development; patent expired in 2003. - File Extensions: .gif or .GIF. Mainly used for web graphics, animations, and simple art, GIF is efficient for images with fewer colors but not ideal for detailed or high-quality images.
