Hi everyone, There are some very interesting ideas.
Though I agree with you Clement that raw images are amazing to work with as you can use any software you are confortable with, we cannot forget that depositing several TB of data for each lab would be bad for ecological reason. And because detectors are always improving (thank you all!), size of data will increase exponentially. Correct me if I'm wrong, as I am not that familiar with the way that integration of raw images works: Could it be possible for a new/already existing software to store reflections (area, intensity from center to border, position x/y on the image, and information of the image) in a lightweight and text only file ? Possibly a new format to be used for integration ? While those text files would be heavy, they'd be still lighter than raw images and the whole useless white space they carry with them between reflections. If not possible, could we imagine to eliminate all the unused space on these ? Like a super raw image diet-plan for the incoming summer !
