RAW to DDS Conversion: FAQ

What are RAW files?

Also known as "digital negatives", RAW photos are uncompressed images that include all the details captured by the camera's sensor. They need to be post-processed using an advanced image editing software. Shooting in RAW mode allows the photographer to have more control over how the image will eventually look, compared to the case of other compressed formats, such as JPG or PNG. The downside of using RAWs, however, is their enormous size, which makes them difficult to store and transfer.

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).
