Convert RAF to PGM

The RAF file extension stands for Fujifilm Raw Image File, a format used by Fujifilm digital cameras to store uncompressed image data directly from the camera's sensor. Introduced to preserve maximum image quality, RAF files contain minimally processed data, allowing for extensive post-processing flexibility. This format, based on the TIFF/EP standard, includes metadata such as camera settings and format version. RAF files are primarily utilized by professional photographers and enthusiasts for high-quality image editing and archiving.

The Portable Graymap (PGM) file extension, originating in the late 1980s as part of the Netpbm project, stands for "Portable Gray Map". It serves as a simple, versatile format for grayscale images, enabling easy reading and writing by various programs. Due to its straightforward structure and plain text encoding, it's often used in academic and research settings where ease of parsing and accessibility are crucial. PGM files store grayscale images in a compact, efficient manner, making them an essential tool for image processing tasks.
