不管你是单反、卡片数码相机还是手机拍照族,喜欢摄影拍照的朋友应该了解RAW文件格式。
考虑到新手朋友,软媒特意在此多说两句——RAW的原意就是“未经加工”,可以理解为:RAW图像就是CMOS或者CCD图像感应器将捕捉到的光源信号转化为数字信号的原始数据。RAW文件是一种记录了数码相机传感器的原始信息,同时记录了由相机拍摄所产生的一些原数据(Metadata,如ISO的设置、快门速度、光圈值、白平衡等)的文件。RAW是未经处理、也未经压缩的格式,可以把RAW概念化为“原始图像编码数据”或更形象的称为“数字底片”。
也就是说,这个原始的RAW格式其实是最重要的,从这个“底片”格式上可以再二次加工处理出更炫更酷等等你想要的效果来,例如 LOMO 等等。
但是,现在问题来了,Win7、Vista 系统是无法在资源管理器中预览RAW文件的,这就确实太不方便了。所幸,微软今天更新了一个支持32和64位的Windows7 RAW支持包(Microsoft Camera Codec Pack 16.0.0652.0621),安装了Microsoft Camera Codec Pack 不但可以在资源管理其中预览RAW的缩略图,也可以让Windows Live照片库程序支持RAW格式文件,不错吧?
