FAQ
CIFF to MIF Conversion
What are CIFF files?
The Camera Image File Format CIFF is a proprietary image format developed by Canon for use in some of its early digital cameras. It stores both raw sensor data and metadata such as exposure settings and camera model information. CIFF files typically use the .ciff or .crw extension and have been largely replaced by Canon’s newer CR2 and CR3 formats.
What are MIF files?
MIF is the file with the shapes in MapInfo's interchange format, which stores map data as a pair of text files. In the .mif file are the points, lines, and areas of a map layer, written as readable text with their coordinates, colors, and line styles, while the attributes of these objects, such as names and numbers, are kept in the partner .mid file. MapInfo is a desktop GIS program widely used in business, telecommunications, and local government, and the MIF and MID pair is its open way of passing data to and from other programs, since it can be read and edited in any text editor. A MIF file needs its MID file with the same name to be complete.
