Fujifilm RAW
The unique raw format for Fujifilm's X-Trans sensors.
RAF is the raw image format used by Fujifilm cameras. While it serves the same purpose as other raw formats, RAF files from Fuji's X-Series cameras are special because they contain data from the unique 'X-Trans' sensor array. Unlike standard sensors that use a Bayer pattern (2x2 grid), X-Trans uses a complex 6x6 pixel grid to reduce moiré without an optical low-pass filter. This means RAF files require specialized demosaicing algorithms to process correctly, making software choice more critical for Fuji users than for any other brand.
RAF files store the raw sensor data, a JPEG preview, and metadata. Fuji offers 'Uncompressed' and 'Lossless Compressed' options. The Lossless Compressed option is highly efficient, reducing file sizes significantly with no penalty. Because of the X-Trans pattern, RAF files can sometimes exhibit 'worm' artifacts when sharpened aggressively in Adobe Lightroom. This has led many Fuji users to prefer Capture One or Iridient Developer, which handle the X-Trans demosaicing better.
Fuji has used the RAF extension for decades, from their early FinePix DSLRs to the modern GFX medium format monsters. The format gained prominence with the release of the X-Pro1 in 2012, which introduced the X-Trans sensor.
Portable Arbitrary Map
The 'universal' bitmap format of the Netpbm toolkit.
PAM (Portable Arbitrary Map) is the newest and most flexible member of the Netpbm format family (which includes PBM, PGM, and PPM). While earlier formats were strictly strictly black/white, grayscale, or RGB, PAM was designed to be generic. It can handle images with any number of channels, including transparency (alpha) channels, which the older formats lacked.
A PAM file starts with a text header defining width, height, maximum component value (depth), and 'TUPLTYPE' (describing what the channels mean, e.g., 'RGB_ALPHA' or 'CMYK'). The data follows as a raw binary stream of tuples. It unifies the parsing logic: instead of writing separate parsers for PBM/PGM/PPM, a program can just implement a PAM parser to handle everything.
Introduced with the Netpbm library updates to solve the 'Alpha Channel Problem'. The older formats (PPM) had no standard way to store transparency, leading to hacky non-standard extensions. PAM standardized this by allowing arbitrary tuple types.
