FITS at a glance

FITS

FITS became a durable scientific standard because observatories, spacecraft, and analysis tools needed a stable interchange format that outlived individual instruments and software stacks.

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.
