• kdc2tiff does not support DC40/50

  I've been getting regular emails asking about support for DC40/50 kdc files in kdc2tiff. Let me reitterate here what is already in the documentation, kdc2tiff does not read DC40/50 kdc files. The reasons for this are not that I just haven't had a chance to look at a DC40/50 kdc file and include support for it. The reasons are much more serious. First off, although a DC40/50 kdc file is really a tiff file just like the DC120 files, it does not adhere to the tiff specification to the same extent as the DC120 does. This means that standard tiff reading software will most likely choke on a DC40/50 file. This is not really a problem for me as I have a custom tiff reading library that I can use to read DC40/50 kdc files. The most serious problem with DC40/50 files is that the main image data is compressed with a Kodak proprietary compression algorithm called RADC. The details of how this algorithm works are not available (if they are, someone tell me where). I know there have been attempts to reverse engineer the algorithm, but none of these attempts have resulted in any working code, yet. I am hopeful that eventually this problem will be solved and all of those of you who have a DC40/50 will be able to use them with non-redmond OS's someday. Thanks to those of you who took the time to email me about this. The point of this news posting is not to discourage people from emailing me, but instead to reduce the amount of redundancy in my replies. Chris.
