RAW file format
RAW format is a flexible file format for transferring documents between different applications and
computer platforms. It is basically an import/export format rather than a storage format.
A RAW file has no predefined format, not even for image width and height, palettes, etc. RAW format
consists of a stream of bytes describing the color information in the file.
Exporting RAW files
You have two options when exporting to RAW format: binary (.raw) or text (.txt).
To export to RAW format (binary):
1. Choose File | Save As.
2. Select RAW Image (binary) as the format.
3. Click Save.
4. In the Raw Image Export Options (binary) dialog box, select your settings.
5. Click OK.
