Convert KDC to RAD

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 RAD file extension, associated with the Radiance software suite, stands for Radiance Scene Description. It is used to describe materials and geometry for lighting simulations and rendering programs. Developed by Greg Ward at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Radiance employs ray tracing and an octree data structure for accurate lighting calculations. RAD files are ASCII text files that must be compiled into an octree before rendering.
