Convert ERF to FPX

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 FPX file extension stands for FlashPix Format, a bitmap image format developed in 1996 by Kodak, Microsoft, Hewlett-Packard, and Live Picture. It was designed to handle large image files efficiently by storing images at multiple resolutions within a single file, allowing quick access to the appropriate resolution based on display requirements. FlashPix uses Microsoft's structured storage format, which organizes hierarchical data in a single file. This format was particularly useful for digital photography and imaging applications, optimizing storage and bandwidth usage.
