KDC to DBK conversion is the process of transforming image files in the KDC (Kodak Digital Camera / Kodak proprietary image bundle) format into the DBK image container format. This conversion re-encodes image data and metadata so the resulting DBK files are compatible with software and workflows that require DBK while preserving as much original image quality and metadata as possible.
