ORF to DDS Conversion: FAQ
What are ORF files?
ORF is an image file extension associated with RAW images captured with Olympus cameras. While most amateur photographers prefer shooting in a more accessible format, like JPEG or TIFF, which includes predefined features to correct aspects such as lack of brightness, color depth or noise, professionals mostly choose to shoot in RAW mode. Though ORF images can be up to 6 times larger than JPEGs or other compressed formats, they include a significantly larger number of options to add digital adjustments and change the image according to how the author wants.
What are DDS files?
DDS (DirectDraw Surface) is an image file format that usually contains texture data, cubic environment maps or other type of data compressed using the S3TC (S3 Texture Compression) algorithm. The DDS format was first associated with Microsoft's DirectX 7.0 and later on with DirectDraw, a tool for accelerating the rendering of graphics in various applications. DDS is a container file and can be decompressed using a graphics processing unit (GPU).
