Convert KDC to BMP

Understanding kdc and bmp file formats

KDC is a raw image file format used by Kodak digital cameras. It stores unprocessed image data directly from the camera sensor, allowing for high-quality post-processing. BMP (Bitmap) is a widely supported raster image format developed by Microsoft, known for its simplicity and compatibility across platforms, but it typically results in larger file sizes due to lack of compression.
