What is a KDC file? A KDC file is a raw photo created by a Kodak digital camera. It contains image data captured by a camera's CCD sensor, saved in an uncompressed, unprocessed format. Photographers use KDC files to produce finalized, edited photos.
More Information KDC file open in XnViewMP Several models of Kodak DC-Series digital cameras, including the DC40, DC50, DC120, save photos as KDC files. These files contain all the data captured when a photographer took a picture. Retaining this data in its original, unprocessed format allows photographers to edit image elements, such as color temperature and exposure, more precisely. However, because KDC files contain a lot of data, they typically have quite large file sizes. For this reason, photographers typically convert KDC files to other formats after they've finished editing them in Kodak or third-party photo editing software. NOTE: Kodak EasyShare P-Series and Z-Series cameras also save photos as KDC files. However, those cameras' KDC files are not formatted the same as DC-Series cameras' KDC files.
