A special group of camera raw formats is Headerless Camera Raw formats. The Headerless Digital Camera file filter provides support for Digital Camera Raw images that only contain pixel data and no header.
Due to the absence of a header, such files cannot be detected reliably. ImageGear uses low detection priority for these images, and by default, detection of this filter is disabled. Also, since these files do not contain any metadata describing color reconstruction, ImageGear support level for them is limited to "S2" - pixel decoding only.
