DCR File format:

 

The Kodak DCR file format, is an after thought.

Thanks to Marc Tinel for the idea ??

Since I have no Kodak CMS available, Kodak's PhotoDsk, PhotoShop or any other executable may be used to pre-process the *.DCR images into *.tif and in turn processe these tiff images by ImgScale.  See "DCR_Img_Processor.txt" file. The idea was to preprocess the DCRs to TIFFs and then jus process the regular TIFFs.

 Hence if in the same directory there are TIFF files of the same name as the DCR files.

It is assumed that the TIFF files represent the DCR images and the DCR files  will be ignored.

 

 

NOTE 1:

The name of the preprocessor executable used for the DCR images is specified in "ImgProcessor.txt" which resides in the same directory as the ImgScale.exe iself.

Only the first uncommented line ( without # as the first character ) of this file is valid.

 It is further assumed that the preprocessor accepts a file name parameter from the command line.

 If the"Img_Processor.txt"is not present, "none" is used by default.

 The none option prevents a lengthy search for PhotoDsk which is assumed to be the default preprocessor.

The current options are

none

PhotoDsk

PhotoShop

 

Use "none' if the if the DCR processor is not available.

 

NOTE: 2:

The Kodaks DCS Photo Desk is available from Kodak at

http://www.kodak.com/global/en/professional/products/cameras/camerasIndex.jhtml

or the ImageServer.

 

 

Sorry about the mess :-)
