DCR to DDS Conversion: FAQ

What are DCR files?

DCR is a RAW image format associated with Kodak cameras. DCR images are uncompressed and do not include any of the default color and light correction associated with shooting in formats such as JPEG.

What are DDS files?

DDS (DirectDraw Surface) is an image file format that usually contains texture data, cubic environment maps or other type of data compressed using the S3TC (S3 Texture Compression) algorithm.
