FAQ
RAF to DDS Conversion
What are RAF files?
RAF is the proprietary format used by Fuji cameras for RAW images. Shooting in RAW mode is often preferred by professional photographers, even though it results in a series of photos that can't be considered as finalized or printed. RAW photos need to pass through a post-processing stage, during which aspects such as color depth, white balance or exposure are adjusted. As opposed to compressed formats such as JPEG, PNG or TIFF, RAF images allow the photographer to have more space for image corrections, foregrounding certain details or hiding others.
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. The DDS format was first associated with Microsoft's DirectX 7.0 and later on with DirectDraw, a tool for accelerating the rendering of graphics in various applications. DDS is a container file and can be decompressed using a graphics processing unit (GPU).
