MRW at a glance
MRW
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.
PGX at a glance
PGX
These formats persist in engineering, compression research, and conversion-tool contexts where simple sample storage or adjunct technical representation is useful.
