EDIT: If it helps I think this application is based in html in some fashion.

I have a bunch of .raw files that are used by a java application (not mine), but I just wanted to take a look at them (atm). I tried GIMP, PICASA, IrFanView but without success

I understand that .raw is a image or sound file (90% sure in this case is image), but can anyone open this file and let me know what you used?

Answer 1

You can use this Online TrID File Identifier, it analizes your file and lets you know which program created it and thus could open it

If you are a Linux user you can play with mplayer.

Answer 3

It looks your files are camera RAW images - photos made by DSLR. These files contains raw data read directly from camera image sensor. These files are not easy to read because each DSLR model creates RAW files in a bit different way. In graphics programs like Photoshop special drivers (like Adobe Camera Raw plug-in) from DSLR manufacturer must be used. But I think Picasa should open these images. You can try Photoshop, Photoshop Elements or open-source application RawTherapee.
