About 3FR Format

Hasselblad 3FR

The raw format for Hasselblad's legendary medium format cameras.

Overview

3FR is the proprietary raw image format used by Hasselblad cameras. It is designed to capture the immense amount of data produced by medium format sensors, which are significantly larger than full-frame sensors. 3FR files are compressed to save space on the memory card. When imported into Hasselblad's Phocus software (or other compatible editors), they are typically converted into the uncompressed FFF format for editing.

Technical Details

3FR files contain 16-bit sensor data. This high bit depth is crucial for medium format photography, which prioritizes color accuracy and tonal gradation above all else. The format is TIFF-based but heavily customized. It includes specific metadata for Hasselblad's lens corrections (DAC - Digital Auto Correction), which are essential for achieving the optical perfection the brand is known for.

History

Hasselblad introduced 3FR with their H-system digital backs. It remains the standard capture format for their H and X system cameras.

About TGA Format

Truevision TGA (Targa)

The simple, reliable workhorse of video game textures.

Overview

TGA (Truevision Graphics Adapter), often called TARGA, is a raster graphics file format created in 1984. It was the first truecolor (24-bit) format for PC cards. Despite its age, it remains incredibly popular in the video game industry and broadcast graphics because it supports an alpha channel (32-bit images) and is extremely simple to parse.

Technical Details

A TGA file starts with an 18-byte header, followed by image identity information, optional color map, and then the pixel data. The pixel data can be raw or RLE compressed. The 32-bit version (RGBA) is particularly valued because the alpha channel is stored as a simple 4th byte per pixel, making it trivial for game engines to use.

History

Developed by Truevision for their TARGA and AT-Vista boards, which brought broadcast-quality video graphics to the IBM PC. It became the lingua franca of VGA graphics.

Common Use Cases

  • Game Textures: Source files for textures in engines like Unreal Engine and Unity.
  • Broadcast Graphics: Overlays and lower-thirds for TV.

Advantages

  • Simplicity
  • Alpha Support

Limitations

  • File Size
  • No Metadata
