Comments

Hasselblad digital cameras use this format for storing Raw images. By default, ImageGear automatically reconstructs colors in raw images during loading. You can disable one or more stages in the automatic color reconstruction, and reconstruct the images programmatically by using ImageGear Processing API. Use filter control parameters to disable specific stages of color reconstruction.

Hasselblad Raw format uses TIFF/EXIF file structure as the base. However, it is not fully compliant with TIFF, so it can't be processed by a regular TIFF viewer. Hasselblad files store a small color preview in the root IFD. An application that does not support Hasselblad can read the root IFD as a regular TIFF image. Raw image is stored in the own binary tag uncompressed or Huffman compressed.
