DCS at a glance

DCS

Digital photography fragmented into many manufacturer-specific raw formats because camera makers optimized for their own sensors, metadata, and software ecosystems rather than for one shared public raw standard.

KMZ at a glance

KMZ

KMZ grew out of the practical need to distribute KML together with related resources such as overlays and linked assets.
