Convert RAF to PTIF

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 PTIF (Pyramid Encoded TIFF) file format, developed by Image Magick, is a specialized variant of the TIFF image format designed to store multiple resolutions of the same image within a single file. This enables efficient zooming and panning in applications without losing image quality. PTIF files are commonly used in geospatial imaging, remote sensing, and medical imaging due to their ability to handle large, high-resolution images efficiently. The format was introduced to address the need for handling large image datasets more effectively in these fields.
