I'll offer a more realistic, less dramatic scenario.

You shoot RAW as most do. Then you convert that RAW data - because
that's all it is at that time - to an image format. In the case of a
Canon the best choice is TIFF but there are others.

Now you have an editable "image" file with all the detail of the
original image in it and capable of being processed further in just
about any image editor know to man at this time.

Bloody sensationalist bull **** is all that comes out of that site.


Not exactly. If the some crucial bit of data is encrypted, obscured or
just not known, you may only get all the information out by using the
manufacturers software.

You may not like the manufacturer's processing choices. The manufacturer
may also cease to support that format in the future.

It's not bull****, it's already happening. You may not care. I and other do.
