Convert SRF to FPX

The SRF (Sony Raw File) is a RAW image file format used by Sony digital cameras, such as the DSC-F828 model, to store uncompressed, unaltered images captured by the camera's sensor. Introduced in January 2004, SRF files preserve high-quality image data, offering photographers greater flexibility in post-processing compared to compressed formats like JPEG. Over time, Sony developed subsequent formats like SR2 and ARW to enhance features and compression methods.

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.
