About NRW Format

Nikon Coolpix RAW

The raw format for Nikon's compact cameras.

Overview

NRW is a variation of the Nikon Electronic Format (NEF) designed specifically for high-end Coolpix compact cameras (like the P7000 series). While structurally similar to NEF, Nikon treats it as a distinct format to differentiate the consumer/compact line from the DSLR/Mirrorless line (which uses NEF).

Technical Details

NRW files typically contain 12-bit sensor data. They support many of the same features as NEF, including non-destructive editing of white balance and exposure, though they may lack some of the deeper custom metadata found in pro DSLRs.

History

Introduced to bring raw capabilities to advanced point-and-shoots without diluting the 'pro' NEF brand.

Common Use Cases

  • Travel Photography: Using a compact camera for high quality shots.

Advantages

  • Raw Power

Limitations

  • Software Support

About PGX Format

JPEG 2000 VM Uncompressed

A single-component test format for JPEG 2000 verification.

Overview

PGX is an extremely simple, uncompressed raster format created specifically for the development and testing of the JPEG 2000 standard (ISO 15444). It is defined in the JPEG 2000 Verification Model (VM). Its purpose is to store a single component (channel) of an image with potentially high bit depth and signed/unsigned values, without the complexity of a full image container.

Technical Details

A PGX file represents one image channel (grayscale). It starts with a minimalist text header identifying the endianness (`LMS` or `Big`), the sign (`+`/`-`), the bit depth, and dimensions. The raw pixel data follows immediately. It is effectively a raw dump of a single image plane.

History

Developed by the JPEG committee during the creation of JPEG 2000. It allowed researchers to test wavelet compression algorithms on raw data without worrying about file headers or color transforms.

Common Use Cases

  • Algorithm Testing: Testing a new wavelet transform implementation.
  • JPEG 2000 Component Separation: Storing the separated Y, U, and V channels of an image before compression.

Advantages

  • Precision

Limitations

  • Grayscale Only
  • Obscure
