Convert SRF to 8BPS

Understanding SRF and 8BPS file formats

The SRF file format is a raw image format used by Sony digital cameras. It contains unprocessed data directly from the camera's sensor, allowing photographers to have greater control over image editing and processing. On the other hand, the 8BPS file format is associated with Adobe Photoshop and is commonly known as the Photoshop Document (PSD) format. It supports multiple layers, masks, and a wide range of color modes, making it ideal for complex image editing tasks.
