+
+   <p>Shotwell supports JPEG, PNG, TIFF, BMP and <link type="guide" xref="other-raw">RAW</link> photo files. Shotwell does not yet support other graphics format such as GIF.</p>
+
+<p>Shotwell's RAW format support is currently limited. When you view a RAW photo, you are actually viewing a JPEG derived from the RAW photo, not the RAW image itself. Additionally, the RAW editing pipeline is not fully 16-bit - you can only export edited photos as 8-bit files. All supported formats can be used for export (JPEG, PNG, TIFF, BMP).</p>
+
+<p>For more information about RAW-format photos in Shotwell, please see
+the <link type="guide" xref="other-raw">RAW</link> section.
+</p>
+
+<p>Shotwell also supports video files in any format supported by the GStreamer media library on the system where
+Shotwell is running.  This typically includes the following formats among others:</p>
+<list>
+<item><p>Container formats: Ogg, QuickTime, MP4, AVI.</p></item>
+<item><p>Codecs: Theora, Quicktime, MPEG-4, Motion JPEG.  <em>Note that some operating systems may not include all
+codecs listed here due to legal or licensing restrictions.</em></p></item>
+</list>
+
+<p>Shotwell supports both photos and videos, but for simplicity, this documentation uses just the term "photos"
+in most places.  Many operations in Shotwell apply to both photos and videos, however.  In particular, events,
+flagging, rating, tagging, and publishing work both for photos and for videos.</p>
