Convert RMF to PBM

The RMF (Raw Media Format) file extension is primarily associated with Canon's digital cinema cameras. RMF files store uncompressed raw image data, capturing each frame in high detail, which is crucial for post-production flexibility. Introduced with Canon's Cinema EOS line, RMF files are used in professional filmmaking to maintain maximum image quality by preserving the original sensor data. This format supports high dynamic range and color depth, making it ideal for advanced color grading and visual effects.

The PBM (Portable Bitmap) file extension, part of the Netpbm project, originated in the late 1980s to facilitate efficient and portable graphics file interchange. Primarily, PBM files are used to store monochrome bitmaps in a simple ASCII text format, ensuring easy compatibility across different systems and platforms. This format supports only black-and-white imagery, making it particularly useful in scenarios where simplicity and minimalism are prioritized, such as in Unix environments for bitmap manipulation and transfer. Its historical significance lies in promoting a standardized approach to bitmap graphics in early computer technology.
