ORF

The ORF (Olympus Raw Format) is a proprietary file format used for storing unprocessed images captured by Olympus digital cameras. It preserves the highest image quality, allowing professional photographers to edit and manipulate photos without losing detail. With its rich color depths and flexibility, ORF files are essential for those seeking to achieve superior post-processing results.

PBM

The PBM (Portable Bitmap) format is a simple raster graphics file format designed for black-and-white images. It is part of the Netpbm format family, allowing for easy manipulation and conversion of pixel data. Widely used in image processing applications, PBM files are lightweight, providing efficient storage and fast rendering while maintaining high quality. Ideal for developers and graphic designers seeking a straightforward bitmap solution.

USE CASES
