Convert MEF to G4

The Mamiya Electronic Format (MEF) is a raw image file format used by Mamiya digital cameras to store unprocessed and uncompressed image data directly from the camera sensor. Introduced in the mid-2000s, MEF files maintain the original scene's dynamic range and quality, allowing professional photographers extensive post-processing control. These files are typically large due to their uncompressed nature and include vital metadata such as exposure settings and white balance. MEF files are commonly edited using specialized software like Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom.

The G4 file extension, standing for CCITT Group 4 Fax Image, is a specialized format used primarily for storing black-and-white facsimile (fax) images. Its origins trace back to the Consultative Committee for International Telegraphy and Telephony (CCITT), now known as the ITU-T, which developed the Group 4 standard in the 1980s to improve fax transmission efficiency over digital networks. This format employs a high compression ratio to reduce file size while maintaining image quality, making it ideal for archiving documents and transmitting faxes in professional and business environments.
