Kodak Digital Camera Raw Image (.dcr)
The DCR file extension, unique to Kodak digital cameras, is designed to store images in their native, uncompressed state. This format is crucial for IT professionals and photography enthusiasts who demand the utmost quality and control in post-processing. The DCR files provide a significant advantage over compressed formats like JPEG by preserving all the image data directly from the sensor, ensuring the highest fidelity and editing flexibility.
