RAW Format
An unprocessed raw image data format recorded by a camera sensor that retains complete capture information. It is traditionally regarded as reliable evidence for verifying the authenticity of a photograph.

The review logic of traditional photography competitions is built on the assumption that "the act of shooting actually took place"; entrants must submit original files and EXIF information, and some contests require RAW format.
Attackers can reverse-engineer a simulated RAW workflow around a generated image, for example by using AI to generate an image and then converting it via software into a pseudo-RAW format with plausible shooting parameters embedded.
Verification methods that rely on EXIF and RAW face severe challenges in the AI era.
Providing RAW format preserves the original uncompressed and unprocessed sensor data, which is valuable for analyzing pixel-level reflection characteristics and for algorithm development research on HDR and overexposed regions
