IPL to KWD conversion is the process of transforming an image stored in the IPL (ImagePlus Layer or other application-specific IPL) format into the KWD (Kodak Wavelet/Keyed Document) image format. This conversion repackages pixel, layer and metadata information so the image can be opened, edited, or archived by software that supports KWD while preserving visual fidelity where possible.
