Convert RAW to FPX

The RAW file extension, standing for "Raw Image Data File", is used to store unprocessed image data captured by digital cameras or scanners. This format preserves the highest level of detail and dynamic range, allowing for extensive post-processing without quality loss. Originating in the early days of digital photography, RAW files have become essential for professional photographers and graphic designers who require maximum control over image adjustments such as exposure, white balance, and color correction. The format's ability to retain all sensor data makes it invaluable for producing high-quality, editable images.

The FPX file extension stands for FlashPix Format, a bitmap image format developed in 1996 by Kodak, Microsoft, Hewlett-Packard, and Live Picture. It was designed to handle large image files efficiently by storing images at multiple resolutions within a single file, allowing quick access to the appropriate resolution based on display requirements. FlashPix uses Microsoft's structured storage format, which organizes hierarchical data in a single file. This format was particularly useful for digital photography and imaging applications, optimizing storage and bandwidth usage.
