text: what programs open raw files? i think they are 3d programs or something like that from wikipedia:  "a raw image file contains minimally processed data from the image sensor of a digital camera or image scanner. raw files are so named because they are not yet processed and ready to use with a bitmap graphics editor, printed, or displayed by a typical web browser. the image must be processed and converted to an rgb format such as tiff or jpeg before it can be manipulated."  you should then check out https://jrawio.dev.java.net/ , an open source java program used to read raw data from various digital camera models.
