What is a DCS (Kodak Digital Camera System RAW) file?

Kodak Digital Camera System (DCS) is the proprietary raw file format produced by Kodak’s professional DCS-series digital cameras, such as the DCS Pro 14n and DCS Pro SLR. Built on the TIFF structure, a DCS file preserves the unprocessed data straight from the camera sensor along with the exposure, white balance, and lens settings used at capture. Like all raw files, DCS acts as a digital negative that can be re-developed without quality loss.

How to open a DCS file?

Kodak’s own DCS Photo Desk software is discontinued, so most photographers now use Adobe Photoshop Lightroom or Adobe Camera Raw to open and develop DCS images.

RawTherapee and darktable also read DCS, and XnView MP is useful for quick previews. Because DCS is an old proprietary format, converting your archive to DNG or to JPG is a good way to keep it accessible.

Developed by: Eastman Kodak Company

Initial Release: 1991

What is a GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) file?

Graphics Interchange Format (GIF) is a type of bitmap file format that relies on pixels to form simple images using the RGB color model. Unlike the uncompressed BMP file format, GIF uses lossless compression and supports animation without audio. The most common use of GIF is in animated form as advertisements, emotion-based replies on social media, and memes, which often go viral on the Internet.

How to open a GIF file?

Almost all web browsers support GIF, which gives it a distinct advantage over other image formats, such as PNG. Furthermore, GIF opens on Apple’s mobile devices, including iPhone and iPad, which makes it more popular than Adobe Flash.

GIFs open easily on almost all image-viewer applications, web browsers, and operating systems. To open a GIF for the purposes of editing it, use an application such as Adobe Photoshop. On Windows, open GIFs with Microsoft Photos, Adobe Photoshop Elements, Roxio Creator NXT Pro, and others. On macOS, use Adobe image viewers and editors, including Adobe Illustrator.
