PEF files are generated by Pentax digital cameras. What do PEF files store? A typical PEF file contains a RAW uncompressed image. How Pentax cameras save photos? PEF files store uncompressed RAW images without any additional adjustments made by the Pentax camera software.
RAF file format is used by digital cameras made by Fuji. They contain raw image data – clean, unprocessed and lossless image data. They are stored on device memory in the form obtained directly from CCD or CMOS matrices. RAF file can contain image in JPG format.
After converting the file to the new format, you will be able to use other programs to support it. Keep in mind, however, that the PEF file after converting to RAF may differ slightly from the original. The most important information should be kept, but if you want the file after conversion from PEF to RAF to be the same, you have to do this carefully and choose the proper application from the list below.
There is no guarantee, of course, that the conversion will come up to all your expectations, but it will certainly help you. If, after all, the effect of converting PEF to RAF does not meet your expectations, you can simply try to find on the Internet a different version of your file in PEF format, properly converted to a RAF file by someone else. If this fails, use the information provided in the further part of the website.
If after converting the file PEF the desired result was not achieved, you can try to change the format of PEF file to other than RAF. On our website you will find more information on the following conversion options
Unfortunately, if after performing the two previously described steps (trying to find your PEF file converted by someone else, and the attempt to convert it to RAF on your own) you still have a problem with your file, then there are only a few solutions left. You can once again try to find and install an application that can open the PEF file in its original format (without conversion to RAF file). Such a solution will be difficult to implement, but it certainly will give the best result.
