The OpenRAW Working Group has launched a new website www.OpenRAW.org. The main aim of the site is to obtain complete documentation of manufacturers' RAW file formats, such as how the data is stored and the camera setting selected by the photographer. Undocumented RAW file formats can present a number of problems, such as limiting the image processing choices, an increasing risk that a RAW file will become unreadable or unable to be processed properly, and a waste of third party software development resources. The OpenRAW group wants manufacturers to publicly document past, present and future RAW image file formats.
