3FR at a glance
3FR
Convert to 3FR when preserving original Hasselblad captures or handing files into a Hasselblad-oriented raw workflow.
It is useful for archive retention, color-critical processing, and studio pipelines that need untouched sensor data.
FITS at a glance
FITS
Convert to FITS when preserving scientific image data, observation metadata, or instrument-derived captures for astronomy and research workflows.
It is the right target when measurement context matters as much as the picture itself.
