What is a .SRW file?
SRW is Samsung’s camera RAW format. Opened in Adobe Lightroom.
- Did you know
- SRW is the raw format from Samsung’s NX mirrorless cameras.
- SRW is the raw format of Samsung’s NX mirrorless line, including the well-regarded NX1, before Samsung exited the camera business around 2015.
- With Samsung’s cameras discontinued, SRW is effectively a dead format, surviving only through third-party raw developers that still decode it.
- Like other raw formats, SRW uses a TIFF-based container to store the NX sensor’s mosaic data alongside the camera’s metadata.
- SRW files keep the sensor’s full bit depth, preserving editing latitude that the JPEGs an NX camera could also output would have lost.
- What Analyser shows you
- Open camera RAW files from Sony (ARW), Canon (CR2, CR3, CRW), Nikon (NEF, NRW), Fujifilm X-Trans (RAF), Sigma Foveon (X3F), Olympus (ORF), Panasonic (RW2), Pentax (PEF), Adobe DNG and many more. Reads full EXIF and lens data, the true sensor resolution, GPS and histograms, recovers the Sony and Nikon shutter actuation count, and develops the RAW - decoding the sensor to a full-resolution image, or extracting the embedded preview when a true demosaic is not available.
