About the PEF format

PEF is Pentax's proprietary RAW format used in Pentax DSLR and medium-format cameras. It captures full sensor data for flexible post-processing and is the native format for Pentax's unique weather-sealed camera bodies.
Common uses
- Pentax DSLR and medium-format photography
- Outdoor and weather-sealed camera workflows
- Landscape and nature photography
- Professional studio post-production
About the RGBA format
RGBA — Raw RGB with Alpha
RGBA is a raw pixel format that stores red, green, blue, and alpha (transparency) channel values sequentially without any file header or compression. It is used as an interchange format in image processing pipelines where simplicity and directness are more important than portability.
Common uses
- Raw image data interchange in processing pipelines
- OpenGL texture loading from raw pixel buffers
- Intermediate format in image conversion tools
