but it did exist before most digital cameras existed. there are several RAW
formats as Cory or Toralf describes. image with no metadata, not even
including image dimensions. i thought it was stupid because the creator had
to tell you the number the pixel dimensions before you could read it and get
something useful.

That's an interesting assertion. The term "raw" really didn't come
into widespread use until digital cameras became commonplace, and
almost every so-called "raw" file from a digital camera contains a
whole lot of other metadata besides the raw sensor values.
