FAQ
ERF to SHP Conversion
What are ERF files?
ERF is the proprietary RAW image format for Epson cameras. An ERF file contains an uncompressed image which can be processed using an advanced image editing software and can be printed using an Epson printer. Many professional photographers prefer to shoot in RAW mode because this allows a better control over the creative editing of the image, and more freedom to customize and transform the image using aspects such as color correction and white balance before converting to a more popular format.
What are SHP files?
The SHP (Shapefile) format stores vector files compatible with various Geographical Information System (GIS) software. SHP was developed by the Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI), an American provider of GIS software and geodatabase management solutions, with the aim of improving interoperability between GIS software produced by ESRI and other developers. An SHP file usually contains vectorial descriptions of geospatial data (e.g. rivers, lakes), including specific attributes.
