Canon RAW 3
The modern, efficient raw format for Canon's mirrorless era.
CR3 is the current raw image format used by Canon's EOS R mirrorless cameras and newer DSLRs. Introduced in 2018 with the EOS M50, it completely replaces the older CR2 format. The biggest innovation in CR3 is the introduction of 'C-RAW' (Compact Raw). This is a lossy compression option that reduces file sizes by up to 40% with virtually no visible loss in image quality. This allows photographers to shoot longer bursts, save hard drive space, and transfer files faster without sacrificing the flexibility of raw editing.
Unlike CR2, which was based on TIFF, CR3 is based on the CIFF (Camera Image File Format) structure, which is related to the MP4 container. This modern architecture allows for faster reading/writing and better metadata handling. CR3 files store 14-bit sensor data. In standard mode, it uses lossless compression. In C-RAW mode, it uses a smart lossy algorithm that prioritizes highlight and shadow detail while compressing midtones.
As sensor resolutions jumped from 20MP to 45MP+ (like in the EOS R5), file sizes became unmanageable. CR2 files were getting too big. Canon developed CR3 to solve this storage bottleneck, launching it alongside their push into full-frame mirrorless cameras.
Icon File
A generic, often ambiguous extension for icon resources.
The `.icon` file extension is a generic identifier for icon images. Unlike the strictly defined `.ico` (Windows Icon), `.icon` is often used in Unix/Linux environments or by tools like ImageMagick as a catch-all alias for various icon formats (including Sun Icon, XBM, or simply renamed ICO files). It is not a standardized format itself but a convention for naming icon resources.
The internal structure of an `.icon` file depends entirely on what created it. It might be a standard Microsoft ICO container with multiple sizes and color depths. It might be a persistent X11 bitmap (XPM). Or it might be a Sun Raster file used for icons on Solaris systems. Because of this ambiguity, it requires a robust viewer that detects format by 'magic bytes' rather than extension.
In the early days of GUI desktops (SunOS, IRIX, early X11), there wasn't a single unified icon standard like Windows .ico. The `.icon` extension served as a descriptive label for files intended to be used as desktop icons, regardless of their underlying binary format.
