Technical details
Raw files contain all the data the camera's or scanner's sensor was able to pick up. Such files are usually much bigger than regular JPEG, since the data there isn't compressed. However, professional photographers prefer working with such files because they can be edited easily with various programs like Adobe® Photoshop®.
