Processing Images
The DCS 645 supports background image
processing that produces ERI JPEG or TIFF
RGB files which can be opened directly by many
applications and browsers.
ERI JPEG is a output of the KODAK
PROFESSIONAL Extended Range Imaging
Technology (ERI). This proprietary technology
offers an innovative image file format similar to a
JPEG, but with the dynamic range and color
gamut information of raw DCR camera files. An
ERI JPEG file is compatible with virtually all
imaging applications for opening, viewing and
printing. However, to realize the full potential of
an ERI JPEG, you must open the file using the
KODAK PROFESSIONAL Extended Range
Imaging File Format Module (ERI FFM),
(page

The choices for processed files are ERI JPEG
Good, Better, and Best, and TIFF RGB. ERI
JPEG Best files have the least compression, ERI
JPEG Good have the most. The less
compression, the better the quality of the
processed file and the larger the file size. The file
size varies, depending on content.
When you capture images, they are written to the
CF Card in .DCR format, regardless of whether
processing is turned on. If processing is on, files
are processed and saved when the camera is not
busy with other tasks such as capturing images.
