What is an RW2 file?

The RW2 file extension is the successor to the RAW format, used exclusively for raw images produced by Panasonic Lumix digital cameras. It stores unprocessed data from the image sensor along with a unique header containing metadata such as lens information, shutter speed, ISO settings, and color profile tags. The format allows for non-destructive editing by saving parameter adjustments as sidecar files or database entries rather than altering the original pixel data. It typically employs a proprietary lossless compression algorithm.

How to open an RW2 file

RW2 files are supported by professional post-production software including Adobe Photoshop (Camera Raw plugin), Adobe Lightroom, and DxO PhotoLab. Panasonic bundles the SILKYPIX Developer Studio software with their cameras for native decoding. Windows 10 and 11 users can view these files in the Photos app after installing the Raw Image Extension. macOS users can preview and edit RW2 files natively through the Preview app and Photos app, leveraging Apple's system-level raw engine.

What is a PS file?

PostScript (PS) is a dynamically typed, concatenative page description language developed by Adobe Systems, serving as the predecessor to the PDF format. It describes text and graphics on a page using vector graphics instructions rather than rasterized pixels, making it resolution-independent. A PS file contains a program written in the PostScript language, which is interpreted by a Raster Image Processor (RIP) to generate the print output. It supports distinct imaging models, including Type 1 fonts and color separations, and became the standard for desktop publishing and high-end printing workflows in the 1980s and 90s.

How to open a PS file

Opening PS files requires software capable of interpreting the PostScript language, as modern OS image viewers do not support it natively. Ghostscript is the standard open-source interpreter used to view and convert PS files. For GUI-based editing and viewing, Adobe Illustrator and CorelDRAW can import PS files. Users can also convert PS files to PDF using tools like ps2pdf (part of the Ghostscript suite) for easier accessibility.
