Convert .MDC to .TIFF

Conversion possible

.MDC is used by several programs. For photos it usually means a raw image from a Minolta digital camera, which a raw converter can develop into a TIFF.

How to convert .MDC to .TIFF

1. Open the file in a raw developer that uses LibRaw, such as RawTherapee or darktable.
2. Adjust exposure and white balance if needed.
3. Export as TIFF (16-bit if you plan to edit it further).
4. If the file does not open, it is probably another kind of .MDC file (for example analytics data or text rules) and not an image.

What to expect

• Raw files contain more information than TIFF files exported with 8 bits; keep the original.
