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.
Radiance HDR
The pioneering high dynamic range format for lighting simulation.
The Radiance HDR format (often called RGBE) is a raster image format designed for storing high dynamic range (HDR) data. Rather than standard 8-bit integers, it uses a specialized encoding where pixel colors are stored as Red, Green, and Blue mantissas sharing a single common Exponent (RGBE). This allows it to represent a vast range of luminance values, from direct sunlight to deep shadows, in a relatively compact 32-bit-per-pixel format.
The .hdr format consists of a human-readable header containing variables like exposure and gamma, followed by binary pixel data. The pixel data typically uses the 'Radiance RGBE' encoding. Each pixel is 4 bytes: one byte each for Red, Green, and Blue, and one shared Exponent byte. This 'shared exponent' scheme is efficient but introduces some limitations—if one channel is very bright and another is very dark in the same pixel, color precision can be lost (color banding).
Developed by Greg Ward in the late 1980s for the Radiance lighting simulation system. It was one of the first formats to enable practical HDR storage and became a de facto standard in the CGI industry for Image-Based Lighting (IBL).
