RAW

The RAW image format captures unprocessed data from digital cameras, providing photographers with high-quality images and maximum editing flexibility. Unlike JPEGs, RAW files retain more detail and dynamic range, making them ideal for professional editing. Perfect for those who prioritize image fidelity, RAW files can be converted to JPEG or TIFF for easy sharing while maintaining the integrity of the original shot.

PPM

The Portable Pixmap Format (PPM) is a simple and widely-used image file format that stores pixel data in a human-readable format. Ideal for basic graphics applications, PPM files support RGB color encoding and are versatile for both software developers and graphic designers. Despite larger file sizes compared to compressed formats, PPM's simplicity makes it a preferred choice for image manipulation and teaching digital imaging concepts.
