Reverse conversion

KDC at a glance

KDC

Convert to KDC when preserving Kodak-origin raw captures or maintaining compatibility with older Kodak photo libraries.

In most current pipelines it is a source or archival target rather than a preferred modern output.

HWP at a glance

HWP

Convert to HWP when the recipient workflow is built around Hancom Hangul, particularly in Korean-language government, academic, or business environments.

It is appropriate for editable forms, official templates, and collaborative word-processing when local compatibility matters more than global default support.

For international exchange, DOCX or PDF may be easier, but HWP is the practical target inside Hangul-centric environments.
