DCR to PPM

Upload a DCR camera RAW file and save it as PPM. 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.

PPM is an image file format that is included in the Netpbm open source graphics editor. This graphic format is convenient and simple. Other Netpbm formats that have found widespread use are PBM, i.e. Portable Bitmap, as well as PGM, i.e. Portable Graymap. This three graphic formats are sometimes referred to as PNM, i.e. Portable Format Anymap. PGM stores grayscale images. PMP is a collection of color images, which are intermediate files that are used when converting formats not so well known, using Portable Bitmap Utilities. And PPM files are mainly used on UNIX platforms that are based on Intel. These files are categorized as bitmap images. This is a 24-bit color image that has been formatted in text format. Takes every pixel with a number from zero to 65536 for storage. The color of the pixel is determined by the number. Contains data spaces, the height and width of the character, the maximum color values. Portable Pixmap uses an uncompressed low-performance format that can be compared with other bitmap image formats. This explains its rare use in order to store large images.
