Convert ORF to DDS

The ORF (Olympus Raw Format) file extension is used by Olympus digital cameras to store uncompressed raw image data. This format captures all the data from the camera's sensor, preserving high-quality image details and metadata such as color, saturation, and contrast. Introduced with Olympus digital cameras, ORF files are essential for professional photographers who require extensive post-processing capabilities. These files are not universally compatible with standard image viewers, necessitating specialized software like Olympus Workspace for viewing and editing.

The DirectDraw Surface (DDS) file extension is used primarily for storing graphical textures and cubic environment maps in the field of computer technology. Introduced by Microsoft with DirectX 7.0, DDS files facilitate efficient loading and storage of texture data, crucial for rendering 3D graphics in real-time applications like video games and simulation software. These files support both uncompressed and compressed formats, leveraging S3 Texture Compression (S3TC) to optimize memory usage and performance. DDS files are indispensable in modern graphics programming, enabling quick texture manipulation and robust graphical asset management.
