Leaf RAW Converter
Overview
When shooting images using the compressed mode on Leaf®Aptus and Leaf Aptus S digital
camera backs, the files are saved in an intermediate, non-standard compressed format. The Leaf
RAW Converter enables you to convert these non-standard compressed files to a standard Leaf
format which can be read by other applications such as the Adobe® Photoshop® Camera RAW
plug-in. The converted files can be saved in standard compressed or uncompressed form. The
Leaf RAW Converter can also be used to convert uncompressed files to standard compressed
format and vice versa.
The Leaf Raw Converter is available in Macintosh® and Windows® versions. The following
procedure holds for both versions. The graphic user interface may differ slightly.
What’s new in this version
This version of the Leaf RAW Converter supports Leaf Aptus S digital camera backs.

converted files.
