Reverse conversion

BAY at a glance

BAY

Digital photography fragmented into many manufacturer-specific raw formats because camera makers optimized for their own sensors, metadata, and software ecosystems rather than for one shared public raw standard.

RAF at a glance

RAF

Fujifilm's digital-camera identity tied raw capture not just to sensor data but also to a brand-specific color and workflow story, which gives RAF a recognizably different practical role from some rival raw families.
