DCR to BMP

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

BMP is a graphic format that allows you to store bitmaps as a bitmap based on single-layer rasters. It was developed by Microsoft. She also implemented it in the Windows operating system. The BMP format (English Bitmap Picture) is used in the work of many programs, since its support is integrated into Windows and OS / 2. Files of this format can have the extensions .bmp, .dib or .rle. The BMP graphics format has often changed. From the very beginning, the image structure was built by combining small squares, that is, pixels, each of which is capable of containing data about what color depth is. It happens to be 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 24, 32, 48 bits per pixel. The size of the final image depends on the bitness. The BMP file format still looks like a monster, since it has large sizes. After all, the image is uncompressed, which can not be said, for example, about the JPG format. Any Windows operating system has the means to open such images. The main editing tool has always been Paint - the native Microsoft program that is in every version of Windows. In BMP, images are stored in their original form, but compression algorithms can also be used. Let's say BMP provides quality support for RLE compression.
