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.
Portable Pixel Map
The standard uncompressed color format of the Netpbm suite.
PPM (Portable Pixel Map) is the color counterpart to PGM and PBM. It is the most widely used format in the Netpbm library for storing full-color RGB images. Like its siblings, it is designed for extreme simplicity and ease of interchange between Unix tools.
PPM files come in two flavors: P3 (ASCII) and P6 (Binary). - **ASCII (P3)**: Pixels are written as readable RGB triplets (e.g., `255 0 0` for red). - **Binary (P6)**: Pixels are raw byte triplets. The header is minimal: Magic Number, Width, Height, Maxval. It does not support alpha channels (use PAM for that) or compression.
Developed by Jef Poskanzer in 1991 to bring color support to the pbmplus (Netpbm) toolkit. It became the lingua franca for Unix graphics utilities.
