Kodak RAW
A relic from the pioneer of digital photography.
DCR is a raw image format used by older Kodak Professional digital cameras (like the DCS Pro SLR series). Kodak was a pioneer in digital imaging, and their DCS cameras were often built on Nikon or Canon bodies but used Kodak sensors and processing. DCR files contain the raw data from these CCD sensors, which were famous for their color rendition but infamous for their noise at high ISOs.
DCR files are TIFF-based but use proprietary tags and compression. They store uncompressed or losslessly compressed sensor data. Kodak had several raw extensions (.dcr, .k25, .kdc), reflecting the chaotic early days of digital standards.
Used primarily in the late 90s and early 2000s. Kodak exited the high-end professional camera market in 2005, making this format effectively dead.
GIF 87a
The original 1987 specification of the Graphics Interchange Format.
GIF 87a is the original version of the GIF format, published by CompuServe in 1987. It introduced the core features that made GIF famous: LZW compression for small file sizes and support for 256 indexed colors. However, unlike the ubiquitous GIF 89a, this original version lacks support for transparency, animation delays, and metadata comments.
A GIF 87a file starts with the header signature `GIF87a`. It defines the Logical Screen Descriptor and the Global Color Table. While it supports multiple image blocks within a single file (which could conceptually form an animation), it lacks the 'Graphic Control Extension' block introduced in 89a. This means there is no standard way to define frame delays, disposal methods, or transparent indices.
Developed by CompuServe in 1987 to provide a hardware-independent, compressed color image format for their online service. It replaced the earlier RLE-based formats and was designed to be efficient over slow modems.
