EDIT: If it helps I think this application is based in html in some fashion.

I have a bunch of .raw files that are used by a java application (not mine), but I just wanted to take a look at them (atm). I tried GIMP, PICASA, IrFanView but without success

I understand that .raw is a image or sound file (90% sure in this case is image), but can anyone open this file and let me know what you used?

Thank you,

You can use this Online TrID File Identifier, it analizes your file and lets you know which program created it and thus could open it

    Hope your file is not corrupted, I've tried with Picasa and at first it says "Invalid Image" but then shows a white square, not sure if it is a result of overcoming the erroneous parts. – mkholod Jan 01 '13 at 13:37
  • Yes, i get the same error with many programs and many of the files. Which means that I am missing a piece of the puzzle, because the application runs and been running for many years. If you use a hexdump you get a correct string (i think). I may have to use the metadata in the image file, but I just don't think it should be that hard. – Juan Jan 01 '13 at 13:56

If you are a Linux user you can play with mplayer.

  • Sadly win7, here. I suppose I can wait a few days to get my holds on a linux machine. May not worth to put linux to just preview an image(s). – Juan Jan 01 '13 at 13:12
  • Your Linux distribution try to open your raw file with closed applications. If you want something about Linux start to learn how to use command line. – Mihai8 Jan 01 '13 at 13:17

It looks your files are camera RAW images - photos made by DSLR. These files contains raw data read directly from camera image sensor. These files are not easy to read because each DSLR model creates RAW files in a bit different way. In graphics programs like Photoshop special drivers (like Adobe Camera Raw plug-in) from DSLR manufacturer must be used. But I think Picasa should open these images. You can try Photoshop, Photoshop Elements or open-source application RawTherapee.
