To display an image correctly we need to convert it from the associated "color space" to monitor color space, otherwise the color looks off and may even look funny.Ī RAW image is recorded in the sensor's "color space." So nothing is really new here. What is said to set RAW data apart from traditional images:Įvery image has a "color space" implicitly or explicitly associated with it, and it needs to be respected. In fact, RAW is an image, but in a less familiar format. This particular misconception is extremely convenient and is often used as an excuse by those trying to explain why it is only natural that most image viewers display embedded JPEG instead of RAW, JPEG-based histogram instead of RAW histogram, and over- and underexposure overlays derived from JPEG previews instead of calculating over- and underexposure indication based on RAW data. Yes, how often do we hear this myth: RAW is not an image.
This, from the FastRawViewer website is worth a read.ĭispelling a Myth: Viewing RAW is Impossible
