SRF to DDS Conversion: FAQ
What are SRF files?
SRF is a format used by Sony cameras to capture RAW images and has a similar function and structure to the SR2 and ARW formats. Using RAW images instead of the more accessible JPG or TIF format is favored by photographers who are experienced enough to be able to apply customized digital processing. That is because RAW images cannot be used as such, but need to pass through an editing process in which aspects such as color depth, white balance or exposure are corrected. The main advantage of using a RAW format is that it will result in better quality images. SRF files, however, tend to be very large in size and thus might be difficult to handle.
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).
