Convert MEF to RAD

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 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.
