PEF to PGM Conversion: FAQ
What are PEF files?
The PEF image format is used for creating RAW images with Pentax cameras. Shooting in RAW mode allows the camera to capture everything its sensors can register, thus preserving a huge amount of details — as opposed to JPEG or other compressed formats, which have predefined settings and are processed automatically. With PEF images, photographers have more freedom to change the image during digital post-processing without affecting its quality. With the help of specialized software, aspects such as lights, exposure and shadows can be customized in the image, highlighting or hiding particular details.
What are PGM files?
The PGM or Portable Graymap format is part of a package of open source graphics programs called Netpbm. Other Netpbm formats include PPM (Portable Pixmap) and PBM (Portable Bitmap), also known under the collective name of PNM (Portable Anymap). A PGM file includes a grayscale image, can work on a UNIX platform, as well as on Windows or Mac OS X, and can render a scope of up to 255 grayscale colors.
