Minolta RAW
The raw format of the Konica Minolta era.
MRW is the raw image format used by Minolta and Konica Minolta digital cameras (like the DiMAGE series and the Maxxum/Dynax 7D) before the camera division was sold to Sony in 2006. MRW files contain the raw sensor data from these early DSLRs and bridge cameras.
MRW files are not TIFF-based; they use a proprietary structure. They typically store 12-bit sensor data.
Minolta was an innovator (first IBIS in a DSLR). When Sony bought them, they used the technology to build the Alpha system. The MRW format was replaced by Sony's ARW.
TIFF (Tagged Image File Format)
The venerable standard for print, scanning, and archival.
TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) is one of the oldest and most robust image formats still in use. Created in 1986 by Aldus (later acquired by Adobe), it was designed to be a universal standard for desktop publishing and scanning. TIFF is a container format, meaning it can hold almost any kind of image data—compressed or uncompressed, RGB or CMYK, 8-bit or 32-bit. This flexibility makes it the go-to choice for the printing industry, professional photographers, and archivists who need a format that preserves maximum quality and metadata without the compatibility headaches of proprietary RAW files.
A TIFF file is built around 'tags' that describe the image data. This allows it to support a vast array of features, including multiple pages (used for faxes and document scans), multiple layers (like a PSD file), and various color spaces like Lab and CMYK that are essential for printing. TIFF supports multiple compression schemes. The most common are LZW (lossless) and ZIP (lossless), but it can also hold JPEG (lossy) data. Uncompressed TIFFs are standard for archival because they are future-proof and require no decoding algorithm that might become obsolete.
TIFF was the first format to bring high-resolution, grayscale, and later color images to the desktop publishing revolution of the late 80s. While JPEG took over the web and consumer photography, TIFF remained the king of the pre-press and scanning world. It hasn't changed much since Revision 6.0 in 1992, which is a testament to its robust design.
