3FR at a glance
3FR
Hasselblad raw workflows are closely tied to medium-format capture and to the brand's studio and commercial-photography lineage, which gives 3FR a different practical role from mass-market DSLR raw families.
EMF at a glance
EMF
Microsoft deprecated WMF in favour of EMF due to WMF's issues with device independence. EMF was later extended with EMF+ to support GDI+ drawing operations.
