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 a JPG file?

JPG is functionally identical to the JPEG format, differing only in the file extension length, a legacy constraint from the MS-DOS 8.3 filename limit (which allowed only three characters for extensions). It implements the same ISO/IEC 10918 standard, using lossy compression based on Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) and Huffman coding to store photorealistic images. The file structure contains markers such as Start of Image (SOI) and End of Image (EOI) and supports color spaces like sRGB and CMYK, making it interchangeable with .jpeg files in all software contexts.

How to open a JPG file

As one of the most ubiquitous file types in computing, JPG files open natively on Windows, macOS, and Linux without external software. Default viewers like Microsoft Photos, Apple Preview, and Linux image viewers handle the format automatically. For editing or conversion, industry-standard tools including Adobe Photoshop, Paint.NET, and XnView provide extensive support. Web browsers universally render JPGs without plugins.
