DCR to PNM

Upload a DCR camera RAW file and save it as PNM. The converter uses server-side image processing for quick RAW export to common raster formats.

DCR is a graphic format for bitmap images. DCR, or Kodak RAW Image File, is a Kodak format RAW file. Files of this type are usually used in digital SLR cameras in order to take photographs and at the same time not to compress or adjust the color. The format was developed by Kodak, whose specialization is in the manufacture of photographic equipment. Kodak RAW Image File, like other graphic RAW formats, is primarily designed to store digital images in an uncompressed and unprocessed form. In this case, they can be edited more accurately. They are stored on a computer so that later the photos can be edited more accurately compared to JPEG images. After processing on the computer, the DCR file can be converted to any popular format. Say in JPEG. DCR images are capable of storing data without compression. They do not include default colors and color correction. And this is inherent in a JPEG image. The main advantage in using this RAW format is that you can have better image quality if digital post-processing is performed. To make the details more visible, and the shapes more defined, you need to reduce noise and better balance the white color.

PNM is a raster image category format. This is a bitmap bitmap created in Portable Any Map format. As you know, this format was intended from the very beginning to process some types of portable monochrome black and white images (PBM), color images (PPM) and grayscale images with shades of gray (PGM). Allows the inclusion of raster graphics data in the .PBM, .PGM or .PPM format. Such formats can provide an intermediate representation of data during the conversion of raster graphic files by different platforms. Separate applications support these three formats directly because they are defined as the PNM format. Able to be stored using binary data or ASCII text. PNM is the common format for the Netpbm package. It contains intermediate files that are used when it comes to converting several open source programs called Portable Bitmap. The PPM format was developed by J. Poskanzer. This is the easiest format for storing graphics. PNM files store one image. They do not apply compression. To view and process a bitmap image in PNM format, you can use programs such as GIMP, ImageMagick, Newera Graphics Converter Pro, XnViewMP. The same programs are able to convert images of this format.
