What is a 3FR file?

The 3FR file extension denotes a proprietary raw image format developed by Hasselblad for its H-system and V-system digital camera backs. Structurally based on the TIFF/EP standard (ISO 12234-2), it contains unprocessed sensor data captured via the Bayer filter mosaic, utilizing a custom lossless compression algorithm to preserve 16-bit color depth. Unlike standard raw files, 3FR files are designed to be converted into the Hasselblad 3F container (FFF) via the Phocus software ecosystem to fully embed color calibration and lens correction metadata.

How to open a 3FR file

Due to its proprietary nature, native OS support for 3FR is limited without specific codec packs. The primary method for accessing these files is Hasselblad's proprietary Phocus software or the Adobe Creative Cloud suite (Photoshop and Lightroom) using the Adobe Camera Raw plugin. For viewing without editing, users on macOS can utilize Apple Preview (if the specific camera model is supported by Core Image), while Windows users may require the Microsoft Camera Codec Pack or third-party viewers like IrfanView.

What is an ICO file?

The ICO format is an image container specifically designed for Microsoft Windows to store icons for executable files, folders, and applications. Introduced with Windows 1.0, it can encapsulate multiple raster images of varying dimensions and color depths (specifically BMP or PNG frames) within a single file to support dynamic scaling across different display resolutions. The structure comprises an ICONDIR header referencing one or more ICONDIRENTRY directory entries, allowing the operating system to select the appropriate 16x16, 32x32, or 48x48 pixel resource based on the current UI scaling settings.

How to open an ICO file

ICO files are natively supported by the Microsoft Windows operating system, which automatically renders them in the File Explorer and taskbar. On macOS, Apple Preview handles the format natively. For editing or detailed inspection of the contained bitmap layers, raster graphics editors such as GIMP, Adobe Photoshop (via plugin), or Paint.NET are required. Web browsers also natively render ICO files when they are designated as favicons.
