Convert ERF to FF

The ERF file extension, short for Epson Raw File, is a proprietary format used by Epson digital cameras to store uncompressed, raw image data. Developed by Epson, this format retains all original sensor data, allowing photographers to produce high-quality images with extensive post-processing flexibility. ERF files can be opened and edited using specialized software like Adobe Photoshop and Epson PhotoRAW. Despite their large size, ERF files are favored by professionals for their superior image quality and editing capabilities.

The Farbfeld (FF) file extension stands for "Farbfeld Lossless Image", a format designed for simplicity and efficiency in parsing and piping image data. Introduced by the Suckless community, Farbfeld stores images in a straightforward, uncompressed format, making it ideal for use with external compression algorithms. This format uses 32-bit RGBA values for each pixel, ensuring lossless quality. Its history traces back to the need for a minimalistic, easily manageable image format that avoids the complexity of integrated compression found in formats like PNG.
