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.
