Convert SRF to PPM

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 Portable Pixmap (PPM) file extension, an image format within the Netpbm family, stores simple, uncompressed images. Introduced in the late 1980s, PPM supports RGB color and grayscale images, making it suitable for basic image processing and conversion tasks. Its plain text encoding simplifies debugging and data manipulation, although its lack of compression results in larger file sizes compared to modern formats. As such, PPM finds limited use in contemporary applications, mainly in educational and experimental settings where ease of implementation and readability are prioritized.
