File Extension | RAF |
Full Name | Fuji CCD-RAW Graphic Format |
Files with the .RAF extension contain digital photos saved exactly as they were captured by the digital camera sensor, in uncompressed form. RAF files can also contain an additional JPG version of the photo. The format is unique to high-end cameras made by Fuji, such as those from the Fine-Pix series.
File format conversion is the process of transforming a file from one format (referred to as "DNG") to another (referred to as "RAF"). This may be necessary for various reasons. For example, DNG file may be incompatible with the software or device we want to use to open or edit it. In such cases, converting the file from format DNG to format RAF becomes essential.
So, how can we perform DNG to RAF file conversion? Fortunately, there are many tools and computer programs available that enable file format conversion. These tools work by reading the data from the file in format DNG and transforming it into format RAF. This allows the preservation of the original information contained in the file, even after changing its format. Below you will find a list of DNG to RAF converters.
If you have already downloaded one of the converters and installed it on your computer, you can proceed to the appropriate conversion process of DNG to RAF. Handling all the programs is usually very intuitive and is based on the same pattern of conduct. We will briefly discuss a few steps that you always need to go through while changing the format of the DNG file:
File extensions are not normally displayed to users. To change this, go to Control Panel, select Appearance and Personalization and Folder Options. Next, select the View and find the option "Hide extensions for known file types". The option should be deselected (cleared) and confirmed with OK.
