RW2

RW2 is a raw image file format used by Panasonic Lumix cameras, capturing unprocessed image data directly from the camera's sensor. This format retains high image quality and flexibility for post-processing, ideal for photography enthusiasts. With RW2 files, users can achieve professional-grade results, making it a popular choice for digital photography and archival purposes.

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.
