“A camera raw image le contain minimally processed data from the image sensor of
either a digital camera, image, or motion picture lm scanner. Raw les named because
they are not yet processed and are not ready to be printed or edited with a bitmap graphics
editor. Normally, the image processed by a raw converter in a wide gamut internal color
space where precise adjustments made before conversion to a “positive” le format such
as TIFF or JPEG for storage, printing, or further manipulation, which often encodes the
image in a device-dependent color space. These images are often described as “RAW
image les” based on the erroneous belief that they represent a single le format. In fact

17.1.7 EPS
“Encapsulated PostScript, or EPS, is a DSC-conforming PostScript document with
additional restrictions which can be used as a graphics le format. In other words, EPS
les are more or less self-contained, reasonably predictable PostScript documents that
describe an image or drawing and could be placed within another PostScript document.
At minimum, an EPS le contains a DSC comment, describing the rectangle containing
the image described by the EPS le. Applications can use this information to lay out the
page, even if they are unable to directly render the PostScript inside.
EPS, together with DSC’s Open Structuring Conventions, form the basis of early versions
of the Adobe Illustrator Artwork le format.”
