Convert ERF to SIXEL

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 SIXEL, or "six pixels", is a bitmap graphics format created by Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) for their terminals and printers. Initially designed for DEC dot matrix printers like the LA50, it enabled the efficient transfer of bitmap graphics using a series of ASCII characters. Each character represents a 6-pixel high row, making it suitable for 7-bit serial communication. This format was later adapted for modern terminal emulators, extending its utility beyond its original scope.
