What is a Sigma RAW (X3F) file?

Sigma RAW is the raw image format written by Sigma’s SD and dp cameras, saved with the .x3f extension. Its distinguishing feature is the Foveon X3 sensor behind it, which captures red, green, and blue at every pixel instead of interpolating colour from neighbouring photosites. The result is a raw file with remarkable per-pixel detail, though the trade-off is large file sizes and a narrower choice of compatible software.

How to open a Sigma RAW file?

Use Sigma’s own SIGMA Photo Pro. It is purpose-built for Foveon data and produces noticeably better colour and detail than generic raw converters.

Some third-party developers, including Adobe Lightroom, RawTherapee, and XnView MP, can open Sigma RAW files, but support depends on the camera model. Developing in SIGMA Photo Pro and exporting a 16-bit TIFF is the most reliable route into other editors. You can also convert the file with our X3F to JPG tool.

What is a GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) file?

Graphics Interchange Format (GIF) is a type of bitmap file format that relies on pixels to form simple images using the RGB color model. Unlike the uncompressed BMP file format, GIF uses lossless compression and supports animation without audio. The most common use of GIF is in animated form as advertisements, emotion-based replies on social media, and memes, which often go viral on the Internet.

How to open a GIF file?

Almost all web browsers support GIF, which gives it a distinct advantage over other image formats, such as PNG. Furthermore, GIF opens on Apple’s mobile devices, including iPhone and iPad, which makes it more popular than Adobe Flash.

GIFs open easily on almost all image-viewer applications, web browsers, and operating systems. To open a GIF for the purposes of editing it, use an application such as Adobe Photoshop. On Windows, open GIFs with Microsoft Photos, Adobe Photoshop Elements, Roxio Creator NXT Pro, and others. On macOS, use Adobe image viewers and editors, including Adobe Illustrator.
