Convert K25 to HDR

The K25 file extension stands for Kodak DC25 Digital Camera Raw Image. It is a proprietary format used by the Kodak DC25 digital camera, introduced in the mid-1990s. K25 files store unprocessed image data directly from the camera's sensor, preserving high image quality and allowing extensive post-processing. This format was pivotal in early digital photography, enabling users to manipulate images without significant quality loss.

HDR stands for High Dynamic Range, and in the context of Radiance, it refers to a file format used for storing high-quality images. The Radiance HDR format was developed as part of the Radiance rendering system, which originated in the late 1980s at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Its primary use is in the field of computer graphics, where it captures a wider range of luminance levels compared to standard formats, enabling more realistic lighting effects. This format is particularly beneficial for tasks requiring precise light measurements and accurate visualizations, making it indispensable for professionals in fields such as architectural visualization and visual effects.
