Convert KDC to PPM

The KDC file extension stands for Kodak Digital Camera Raw Image. It is a proprietary format used by Kodak digital cameras, such as the DC40, DC50, and DC120, to store uncompressed and unprocessed image data captured by the camera's CCD sensor. Introduced in the mid-1990s, KDC files retain all the original data, allowing for precise post-processing adjustments like color correction and exposure. Despite its large file size, the KDC format is valued for its flexibility in professional photo editing.

The Portable Pixmap (PPM) file extension, an image format within the Netpbm family, stores simple, uncompressed images. Introduced in the late 1980s, PPM supports RGB color and grayscale images, making it suitable for basic image processing and conversion tasks. Its plain text encoding simplifies debugging and data manipulation, although its lack of compression results in larger file sizes compared to modern formats. As such, PPM finds limited use in contemporary applications, mainly in educational and experimental settings where ease of implementation and readability are prioritized.
