Epson Raw File (.erf)

The ERF, which refers to Epson Raw File, is a proprietary format used by Epson digital cameras to store uncompressed image data, capturing all sensor details. This format enables high-quality images and extensive post-processing flexibility. ERF files can be edited with specialized software, and some Epson cameras include a utility for basic adjustments. Although ERF files are large and require more storage and processing power, they are preferred by professional photographers for their superior quality and editing capabilities.

Introduced by Microsoft with DirectX 7.0, DDS files facilitate efficient loading and storage of texture data, crucial for rendering 3D graphics in real-time applications like video games and simulation software. These files support both uncompressed and compressed formats, leveraging S3 Texture Compression (S3TC) to optimize memory usage and performance.
