FAQ
X3F to SHP Conversion
What are X3F files?
X3F is a RAW image format used by Sigma cameras. This well-known Japanese brand is responsible for producing high-quality lenses, flashes, cameras and other photographic accessories. The X3F format is enhanced by the use of Foveon technology, which allows the camera's sensor to capture colors with an increased richness of detail. As opposed to JPG, X3F images allow the photographer to capture a wider variety of image information, which he will be able to select during post-processing.
What are SHP files?
The SHP (Shapefile) format stores vector files compatible with various Geographical Information System (GIS) software. SHP was developed by the Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI), an American provider of GIS software and geodatabase management solutions, with the aim of improving interoperability between GIS software produced by ESRI and other developers. An SHP file usually contains vectorial descriptions of geospatial data (e.g. rivers, lakes), including specific attributes.
