Convert RAF to VIPS

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 VIPS (Virtual Image Processing System) file format, developed by the libvips library, is designed for high-performance image processing with low memory usage. It supports arbitrary metadata and is optimized for command-line operations. Although not widely supported by other programs, it serves as an efficient intermediate format for tasks like image inversion and gamma correction. The format includes a 64-byte header with basic fields such as image width and a set of band-interleaved scanlines for the image data.
