nonraw
Nonraw is a term used in digital photography to describe image files that have already been processed by the camera's image pipeline and stored in a standard, widely supported format such as JPEG or TIFF, rather than as unprocessed sensor data. In a nonraw capture, the camera applies settings such as white balance, exposure, tone mapping, sharpening, and color grading, and stores the result as a finished image.
Common nonraw formats include JPEG for everyday use and TIFF for professional workflows. JPEG uses lossy compression
Advantages include smaller file sizes, immediate usability, broad compatibility, and faster workflows. Disadvantages include limited latitude
In practice, photographers who shoot casual photos, events, or situations where speed matters often use nonraw
Nonraw can be used in archival and sharing contexts where the priority is efficiency and compatibility, while
