Abstract

In recent, most recent digital cameras have the functions not only saving images into some medias compressing the files in JPEG or TIFF files not otherwise, but also saving as RAW ones. The images taken JPEG data would have saved after doing own image processing in camera into some medias compressing the files in JPEG ones. Indeed, we can't reflect your preferences to files at that time, and also it will be produced image degradation by compressing. On the other hand, RAW data is saved as “RAW” file in the literature without processing RGB image data output from image sensor. We can't see images as nothing less than RAW data, but we can see the data as the pictures only after RAW developing on your computer. We can say that most large characteristic using such RAW developing is making images reflecting your preferences and keeping high image quality.
In this report, against each entry, we will explain about image processing by RAW developing only software that high-profile in these days refer to characteristics of RAW data and merits of photographing with RAW data. Besides, we will consider about some good points you can take photographs without worrying about missing photo opportunity by taking photographs written RAW data and future potentials that RAW data hold.
