A .FPX file is a bitmap image file format created by Kodak. It is widely used by professional photographers and graphics professionals to archive, transfer, or process high-quality photographic bitmap images. The .FPX file format is based on the JPEG2000 industry standard and is endorsed by the Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG). The . [ ⏩ ] FPX file extension
What is RAW file?
RAW (Raw Image Data File) is a type of file used in digital photography and contains the pixel data captured by the camera's sensor.

How to convert the file from FPX to RAW?
To successfully convert the FPX file to RAW, you should install one of the applications from the list. After installing the software, open the program and select the file you want to convert (file-name.FPX). The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case RAW (usually converters allow you to convert to several different formats, so check out their features - maybe one of the available formats will suit you more than RAW).
What is a file conversion?
A data conversion is normally an automated process to some extent. The effect of the operation of one program is automatically the input product of another application. If that does not happen we need to help the process a little bit and convert the file on our own, e.g. FPX to RAW. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.
Program for converting FPX files to RAW files is a kind of a "binary code translator" compensating for the differences in the code or translating it in such a way so that another application could use it. For us, as users, the visible change will be only another file extension. (After converting the file, it will be the extension RAW, while before this step we had the FPX file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new RAW file, or not.
