CR3

CR3 is an advanced raw image file format developed by Canon for its digital cameras. It preserves high-quality, uncompressed images with extensive dynamic range and color depth, making it ideal for professional photographers. CR3 files offer superior editing flexibility, supporting advanced post-processing without loss of detail. This format is perfect for capturing stunning visuals in challenging lighting conditions.

PGM

The Portable Gray Map (PGM) format is a simple, portable image file that represents grayscale images. It is part of the Netpbm format family, suitable for easy manipulation and conversion. PGM files store pixel intensity values in plain text or binary, ensuring broad compatibility across various platforms and applications. Ideal for graphic designers and developers looking for a straightforward approach to grayscale image processing.
