Kodak DC120 Digital Camera RAW Image Format | Kodak | Raster Image Files |
The KDC file extension is used by the Kodak DC120 digital camera for RAW image files. It is a proprietary format that stores a combination of data as generated by the image sensor in the camera. The resulting files may contain detailed information such as EXIF metadata, color data, and image sensor remarks. In addition to its own native format, the Kodak DC120 can capture RAW files using either the proprietary .KDC or the standard .DCR extension.
Common Uses
The KDC RAW image file is commonly used by professionals and enthusiasts due to the greater quality that can be achieved when compared to the more common JPG file. Increased detail, color accuracy, dynamic range, and better conversion capabilities make this file extension desirable when shooting in difficult lighting or specialized situations. Additionally, KDC RAW images can be opened in many third-party image editors such as Adobe Photoshop, GIMP, and Affinity Photo, allowing users to fully customize and edit their photos.
Other File Extensions Used in Photography
Other file types commonly used in photography include .JPG, .PNG, .TIF, .PSD, .DNG, .CR2, .NEF, and even some raw video formats such as .MOV, .AVI, and MP4.
Programs for WINDOWS system
Programs for LINUX system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .KDC) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .KDC extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .KDC file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .KDC extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .KDC extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .KDC file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .KDC file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .KDC file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .KDC file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .KDC file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
