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.
The SIXEL, or "six pixels", is a bitmap graphics format created by Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) for their terminals and printers. Initially designed for DEC dot matrix printers like the LA50, it enabled the efficient transfer of bitmap graphics using a series of ASCII characters. Each character represents a 6-pixel high row, making it suitable for 7-bit serial communication. This format was later adapted for modern terminal emulators, extending its utility beyond its original scope.
