HDR (Radiance RGBE image format) is an image file format designed to store images with a broad range of luminance levels, from deep shadows to bright highlights, capturing more detail in both areas than standard digital imaging formats. This format is commonly used in photography and computer graphics to achieve more realistic or artistically enhanced representations of light in images. However, HDR files can be larger in size, and they require compatible software and displays to fully appreciate the enhanced dynamic range.

The RAW image file format is a generic term for a variety of image formats used by different digital camera manufacturers. RAW files store unprocessed data from the camera's sensor, providing photographers with the ability to manipulate settings like exposure, white balance, and sharpness during post-processing, which can result in higher image quality. Unlike JPEG and other compressed formats, RAW files retain a much broader range of color and luminance values, offering more flexibility for editing but also resulting in larger file sizes.
