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.
