For those of you trapped in acronym hell...

EXIF image (*.jpg, *.tif, *.thm)
Kodak RAW image (*.dcr, *.tif)
Canon RAW image(*.crw, *.tif)
Nikon RAW image (*.nef, *.jpg)
Olympus RAW image (*.orf)
Minolta RAW image (*.mrw)
Fujifilm RAW image (*.raf)
Sigma RAW image (*.x3f)

and for those of you needing a soothing track after reading this thread *clicks*
