Raw File Formats | dpBestflow. Proprietary raw Raw file format (not an acronym) is raw data from a digital camera sensor that has not been demosaiced, meaning that a raw file is only composed of either a red, green, or blue value at each pixel location. Rather than having the camera demosaic the raw data to create a rendered file, saving the raw data allows the photographer to control the demosaicing process with special software that offers control over white balance, color saturation, exposure (to a degree), bit depth, and color space, noise reduction, and even lens correction and other "parameters".

This is why these types of software are often referred to as Parametric Image Editing software. Although raw files are much larger than JPEG files, the extra measure of control and potential quality is a worthwhile trade-off for most professional photographers.
