Convert PEF to G3

The PEF (Pentax Electronic File) is a raw image file format used by Pentax digital cameras. It contains unprocessed data directly from the camera's image sensor, allowing for greater post-processing flexibility and higher-quality images. Introduced by Pentax, this format retains more image information compared to compressed formats like JPEG, making it popular among professional photographers. PEF files can be opened and edited with various software, including Adobe Photoshop and Pentax's own Digital Camera Utility.

The G3 file extension refers to the CCITT Group 3 Fax Image, a standardized format developed by the Consultative Committee for International Telegraphy and Telephony (CCITT), now known as ITU-T. This format was created to efficiently compress black-and-white fax documents for transmission over telephone lines. It employs a method called Modified Huffman Coding for data compression, enabling reduced transmission time and bandwidth usage. G3 was widely adopted in the 1980s and 1990s as the primary standard for fax transmissions, ensuring compatibility across different fax machines and systems.
