About SRW Format

Samsung RAW

The raw format for Samsung's defunct NX camera line.

Overview

SRW is the proprietary raw format used by Samsung's NX series of mirrorless cameras (like the NX1 and NX500). Although Samsung exited the camera market, the NX1 remains a cult classic for its high-resolution sensor, and SRW files are still relevant for its users.

Technical Details

SRW files are TIFF-based containers holding the raw sensor data. The NX1's SRW files are particularly notable for containing data from a 28MP BSI-APS-C sensor, which was ahead of its time.

History

Introduced with the Samsung GX series (rebadged Pentax) and evolved with the NX series.

Common Use Cases

  • Landscape Photography: NX1 users.

Advantages

  • Image Quality

Limitations

  • Discontinued Support

About ICB Format

Targa ICB

A legacy extension for Targa images created by Truevision ICB boards.

Overview

The ICB file extension is functionally identical to the standard TGA (Truevision Targa) format. It was specifically used to denote images created by or for the Truevision Image Capture Board (ICB). Like standard TGA files, it supports simpler raster data with optional RLE compression and alpha transparency.

Technical Details

An ICB file respects the TGA 2.0 specification. It contains a header defining image dimensions and pixel depth, followed by pixel data. The pixel data can be uncompressed or RLE-compressed. It supports bit depths of 8, 16, 24, and 32 bits. In 32-bit mode, 8 bits are dedicated to an alpha channel, which was a pioneering feature for video overlay graphics.

History

Truevision (now part of Avid) introduced the Targa video boards for IBM PC-compatibles in the 1980s. To distinguish files created by different hardware models, they used specific extensions: .tga (generic), .icb (Image Capture Board), .vda (Video Display Adapter), and .vst (Video Super TarGA). Modern software treats them all as standard TGA files.

Common Use Cases

  • Legacy Hardware Support: Opening archives of graphics created for broadcast TV in the late 80s/early 90s.
  • Texture Assets: Old game engines might use .icb files for textures (though .tga is far more common).

Advantages

  • Simplicity
  • Alpha Support

Limitations

  • Obscure Extension
  • File Size
