Hello!
I would like to get my hands on a format spec for photoshop raw files?
has anyone got any info on this?
TIA
A raw file is just that: raw data. The format is usally specified in the export options in photoshop. Say you have a raw file, set up as 3 channels, interleaved channels, 8-bit per channel, 512x512 pixels, the data will look like this:
RGBRGBRGBRGBRGBRGBRGB… with each R, G, B representing on byte, representing the red, green or blue component of one pixel. So, you’ll have 512x512x3 = 786432 total bytes. If you specifiy for channels, you add an alpha component (ie.: RGBARGBARGBARGBA…)
