Kodak Digital Camera Raw Image (.dcr)

The DCR (Digital Camera Raw) file extension is used by Kodak digital cameras to store uncompressed, lossless image data exactly as captured by the camera's sensor. This format retains more detail and allows for greater post-processing flexibility compared to compressed formats like JPEG. DCR files contain metadata such as camera settings and image dimensions. Historically, Kodak introduced this format to provide photographers with high-quality images for editing and archival purposes.

Continuous Acquisition and Life-cycle Support Type 1 Image (.cals)

The CALS (Continuous Acquisition and Life-cycle Support) Type 1 Image file format, developed by the United States Department of Defense in the mid-1980s, is a standard for storing raster (bit-mapped) image data, typically black-and-white. It ensures efficient data interchange and retention of orientation metadata. The format supports both uncompressed and compressed (using CCITT Group 4 compression) images. This standard was part of the broader CALS initiative aimed at improving electronic publishing and data management within the federal government.
