Convert MEF to PCX

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 PCX file extension, standing for PiCture eXchange, is a raster image format developed by ZSoft Corporation in 1985 for its PC Paintbrush software. It became one of the first widely accepted DOS imaging standards, supporting palette-indexed images from 2 to 256 colors and later true-color (24-bit) images. PCX files use RLE (Run-Length Encoding) compression, making them smaller in size. Although largely replaced by formats like BMP, JPEG, and PNG, PCX was pivotal in early computer graphics and is still supported by various image processing software.
