FAQ
MDC to SHP Conversion
What are MDC files?
MDC (Minolta Digital Camera) is an image format associated with shooting in RAW mode with Minolta cameras. RAW images are often preferred by professional photographers because they allow the camera to capture a wider array of details than other compressed formats, such as JPEG or PNG. For amateurs, however, shooting in RAW mode might pose significant problems related to digital post-processing using an advanced editing software. Moreover, RAW images tend to be very large in size, and are difficult to store and transfer.
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.
