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.

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.
