The KDC file extension stands for Kodak Digital Camera Raw Image. It is a proprietary format used by Kodak digital cameras, such as the DC40, DC50, and DC120, to store uncompressed and unprocessed image data captured by the camera's CCD sensor. Introduced in the mid-1990s, KDC files retain all the original data, allowing for precise post-processing adjustments like color correction and exposure. Despite its large file size, the KDC format is valued for its flexibility in professional photo editing.
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.
