Convert RAD to MIFF

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.

The Magick Image File Format (MIFF) is a platform-independent format developed by John Cristy for ImageMagick, designed to store bitmap images. MIFF supports extensive metadata, including image color profiles, comments, and copyright information, making it versatile for various applications. It is particularly useful in image processing and conversion tasks due to its ability to handle multiple image formats like JPEG, TIFF, and PNG. MIFF's history dates back to its inception as part of the ImageMagick toolkit, which is widely used for image manipulation across different platforms.
