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.
PNG-24 (24-bit RGB)
The standard for opaque, true-color lossless images on the web.
PNG-24 is the standard version of the PNG format for opaque, full-color images. It supports 24-bit color depth, which allows for over 16 million distinct colors (True Color)—the same color range as a standard JPEG. Unlike JPEG, however, PNG-24 uses lossless compression. This means it preserves every single pixel exactly as it was created, with absolutely no blurring or artifacts. This makes PNG-24 the ideal choice for complex graphics, screenshots, and detailed diagrams where quality is paramount and transparency is not needed. Note that while 'PNG-24' is often used to refer to any true-color PNG, strictly speaking, it refers to the RGB variant without an alpha channel. If you need transparency, you are technically using PNG-32 (RGB + Alpha).
A PNG-24 image consists of three color channels: Red, Green, and Blue. Each channel uses 8 bits of data per pixel, resulting in 24 bits total (8+8+8). This allows for 256 levels of intensity for each primary color, combining to produce 16,777,216 possible colors. Because it lacks an alpha channel, every pixel in a PNG-24 file is fully opaque. While the PNG specification allows for a 'tRNS' chunk to define a single specific color as transparent (similar to GIF), this is rarely used in modern web design in favor of the full alpha transparency found in PNG-32.
PNG-24 was part of the original PNG 1.0 specification released in 1996. It was designed as a direct, patent-free competitor to JPEG for lossless image storage. While JPEG won the war for photographs due to its superior compression ratios, PNG-24 became the standard for screenshots, diagrams, and digital art where preserving exact pixel values was more important than file size.
