What’s the difference between RAW camera data images and RAW (Graphics) file format images?

RAW camera data images contain unprocessed sensor data captured by high-end digital cameras from Canon, Fuji, Kodak, Minolta, Nikon, Olympus, and Pentax. The data from these images in no way resembles or responds like RAW graphics image data.

RAW graphics images are basic raster data format images with no compression, and may include an optional non-standard header which is not supported by Corel PaintShop Pro. These graphics images are used primarily by game developers and by the scientific community. Game developers use RAW graphics images for custom image texturing, bumpmapping, and shading. The scientific community uses these images for custom application-based image analysis.

Corel PaintShop Pro can create and edit RAW graphics images as well as provide conversion from standard formats (such as TIF, JPEG, or TGA) into the RAW graphics format.

You can correct the tint, or color cast, certain types of lighting may cause. For example, if the photo was shot indoors in fluorescent lighting, and the camera was set for outdoor lighting conditions, the photo may have a green color cast. In this case, you can choose an option that applies correction for a photo taken in fluorescent light.
