KDC to PSD Converter

Kodak DC120 Digital Camera RAW (KDC) is an obsolete raw file format that stores images in 24-bit color. KDC was first produced by Kodak’s DC50 camera and then continued with the DC120 camera, which had a 1280 x 960 pixel charge-coupled device (CCD) sensor. At the time, KDC was an improvement on the raw images produced by earlier versions of Kodak’s DC Series of compact digital cameras, which were popular in the 1990s to 2000s. 

How to open a KDC file?

When this file type was supported, Kodak included a compact disc (CD) with the camera that contained Kodak Picture Transfer software. Depending on your current operating system, this program might or might not work. Instead, try a more modern program that supports KDC files, such as Adobe Photoshop Lightroom (Lightroom), which works on Microsoft Windows and macOS. 

Alternatively, try darktable, which is cross-platform, open-source, and free. Besides Lightroom, other paid programs that can open KDC include ACDSee Photo Manager , HDR Darkroom, and Corel PaintShop Pro.

Photoshop Document (PSD) is the default file type for Adobe Photoshop, a powerful and complex graphic design program. PSD can store an image along with a complex array of its corresponding layers, vector paths, objects, filters, and more, all in one file! PSD allows a user to make surgical edits on individual components of an image or a graphic design while retaining the file’s information in an accessible format. One drawback of PSD is that it can be large and unwieldy.

How to open a PSD file?

Adobe Photoshop is the most common program to open a PSD file. A free alternative to Adobe products is the GNU Image Manipulation Program, otherwise known as GIMP.

Due to the size of PSD files, they are not easy to transport, store, or share. To overcome this, PSD is often converted to a file format that can compress the data. Most often, the conversion is to JPEG, which offers lossy compression, or PNG, which offers lossless compression.
