Convert MRW to CIN

The MRW file extension, short for Minolta Raw Image, is a raw photo file format developed by Minolta for their Dimage digital cameras. It stores uncompressed, unprocessed image data directly from the camera's CCD sensor, allowing photographers extensive post-processing control over elements like exposure and color balance. After Sony acquired Minolta, the MRW format was gradually replaced by Sony's ARW format, but MRW files remain in use, especially with legacy Minolta cameras. These files are compatible with various photo editing tools, ensuring continued accessibility for high-fidelity image editing.

The CIN file extension stands for Kodak Cineon Bitmap Image, a format developed by Kodak in 1992 to digitize film images for electronic compositing, manipulation, and enhancement. It stores a single frame from a motion picture or video data stream with 10-bit color depth per RGB channel. Although the Cineon System is now discontinued, the format is still used in visual effects and film restoration. CIN files can be opened and converted using applications like Adobe Photoshop and XnViewMP.
