About formats

KDC is a proprietary RAW image format used by Kodak's DC (Digital Camera) and EasyShare consumer camera lines, first appearing in 1995 with early models like the DC40. KDC files capture the unprocessed sensor data from Kodak's CCD image sensors before any in-camera demosaicing, white balance, sharpening, or compression is applied. The format spans a wide range of sensor resolutions across Kodak's consumer camera history, from sub-megapixel early models through the multi-megapixel EasyShare cameras of the mid-2000s. KDC stores the raw Bayer-pattern data alongside camera-specific metadata including the sensor's color filter array layout, exposure parameters, and Kodak's proprietary color matrix coefficients that define how raw sensor values map to visible colors. While Kodak eventually exited the consumer camera market, KDC files from these cameras represent an important historical record of early consumer digital photography. One advantage is access to Kodak's renowned color science — even in their consumer cameras, Kodak's sensor designs and color processing produced distinctive, film-like color rendering, and KDC files preserve the raw data needed to explore this color character with modern RAW processing tools that can apply the original Kodak color matrices or alternative interpretations. Practical longevity is another strength: KDC format support is maintained in Adobe Lightroom, dcraw, LibRaw, and RawTherapee, ensuring that images captured on Kodak consumer cameras remain processable with contemporary software long after the hardware was discontinued.

PSD (Photoshop Document) is the native file format of Adobe Photoshop, the industry-standard raster image editor first released on February 19, 1990. PSD files preserve the complete editing state of a Photoshop project: all layers (raster, text, adjustment, shape, and smart object layers) with their positions, blending modes, opacity, and layer effects; layer masks and vector masks; alpha channels; spot color channels; paths; guides; slices; and the full undo history. The format supports images up to 30,000 x 30,000 pixels (PSB, the large document format, extends this to 300,000 x 300,000) in color modes including RGB, CMYK, Lab, Grayscale, Indexed, Duotone, and Multichannel, at 1, 8, 16, or 32 bits per channel. PSD files use a combination of RLE compression for individual layer data and store composite (flattened) preview images for quick display by applications that cannot parse the full layer structure. The format has become a de facto standard for professional creative workflows far beyond Photoshop itself — photographers, graphic designers, web developers, and video post-production artists exchange PSD files as the working format that preserves creative flexibility. One advantage is the non-destructive editing model: PSD preserves every layer, mask, adjustment, and effect as independently editable elements, allowing creative decisions to be revised at any point without starting over. The format's role as the interchange standard for the creative industry provides another core strength — PSD files can be opened by Adobe Illustrator, InDesign, After Effects, Premiere Pro, as well as Affinity Photo, GIMP, Sketch, Figma, and Photopea, making it the lingua franca of visual design.
