BAY to DDS Conversion: FAQ

What are BAY files?

The BAY format is used for storing RAW images taken with some Kodak high speed cameras, such as the Kodak HRC-1000. A BAY file is also referred to as a Kodak / Roper Bayer Sequence and offers photographers, like all other RAW formats, the ability to apply a series of image editing features in digital post-processing. The drawback of such files is their size; though highly adaptable, they tend to have enormous sizes.

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.
