PNM Raw at a glance

PNM Raw

PNM survived because engineers kept needing a no-drama raster family for scripts, fixtures, codecs, and image-processing experiments where the format should not be the hard part.

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.
