Open RAW Files

When taking a photo using a digital camera or scanning an image file, the captured file is not processed and one cannot modify it with a graphic editor app.

This type of image file is called RAW and it may only be accessed and edited using specialized applications.

To be able to open RAW files, one has to use a dedicated graphic suite or a special app that features this capability.

The advantage of the more complex graphic apps is that users will also have the option to perform some basic editing operations (such as rotate or crop the RAW images).
