AdobeRGB
This color space is recommended for commercial printing and document
creation by Adobe Systems. Its color reproduction range is larger than
sRGB and adequately covers the color reproduction range for printing.
Therefore, color data only reproducible on a printer are not lost when
editing on a computer. Note that using AdobeRGB with unsupported
software causes colors to appear faint.
CSV format
This data format lists recording fields and separates them with a comma
(,). Generally, character strings are indicated with double quotation marks
in CSV format. Some software include data input and output functions in
CSV format as part of a multipurpose format.
DNG RAW File
DNG (Digital Negative) RAW is a general-purpose, publicly-available
RAW file format designed by Adobe Systems. When images captured in
proprietary RAW formats are converted to DNG format, support and
compatibility for the images increase significantly.
Exif-JPEG format
Exif stands for Exchangeable Image File Format. This image file format is
based on the JPEG image data format, and allows thumbnail images and
image properties to be embedded into the data. Software that does not
support this format processes the image as a regular JPEG image.
Exif-TIFF format
Exif stands for Exchangeable Image File Format. This image file format is
based on the TIFF image data format, and allows thumbnail images and
image properties to be embedded into the data. Software that does not
support this format processes the image as a regular TIFF image.
JPEG
An image compression format. Although the image quality deteriorates a
little, images can be compressed to a smaller file size than with TIFF and
other formats.
