Hasselblad 3F RAW files: Hasselblad 3F image raw files carry full sets of metadata, including capture conditions, keywords and copyright, facilitating work with image asset manage- ment solutions.

FlexColor works on the basis of the 3FR RAW files generated by the CFV. FlexColor runs natively on both Macintosh and Windows platforms and is licensed to allow you to provide free copies for all your
