RAW
A file holding the sensor's minimally processed data, rather than a rendered image.
RAW keeps the full bit depth and the latitude to change white balance, recover shadows and pull back highlights that a JPEG has already thrown away — which is exactly what a mis-metered white fuselage needs. The costs are file size and a processing step. TailzIN accepts camera RAW on upload and converts for display, keeping the original untouched.
