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 PDB Format

Palm Database

The generic database container for Palm OS.

Overview

PDB (Palm Database) is the standard file format for all data on Palm OS devices, from address books to e-books. In the context of images, a PDB file acts as a container for 'Palm Pixmap' images, typically storing them as a series of records. It was the only way to get data onto a Palm pilot.

Technical Details

A PDB file consists of a header (name, attributes, creation time) and a list of records. For images, these records contain the bitmap data (often compressed with RLE/PackBits). ImageMagick treats PDB files as a multi-image sequence if multiple bitmaps are stored in the records. The format is strictly structured to map directly to the device's RAM storage model.

History

Created by Palm Computing in 1996. It was designed to facilitate 'HotSync' between the handheld's RAM and the desktop PC. It became ubiquitous in the early 2000s PDA era.

Common Use Cases

  • E-Book Images: Images embedded in Peanut Press (eReader) books.
  • Application Assets: Storing sprites and icons for Palm apps.

Advantages

  • Container

Limitations

  • Complex
  • Obsolete
