What is a .EIP file?
An .EIP file is a type of file known as an Enhanced Image Package File. It is primarily created and used by a professional photo-editing software called Capture One. This software is often paired with Phase One digital cameras. The .EIP file format is special because it not only includes a RAW image, which is a high-quality photo file that has not been processed or compressed, but it also contains additional information. This information includes custom settings specific to the image, .ICC profiles (which are files that help manage color consistency across different devices), and .LCC profiles (used for correcting lens errors).
The .EIP file is compressed using Zip compression, which makes it easier to handle and transfer without losing any data. This is particularly useful for photographers who need to move their images from one computer to another while keeping all the original image data and edits intact.
To open an .EIP file, you will need to use Capture One software by Phase One. This is the same software used to create the file. To make an .EIP file in Capture One, you can go to the program's menu and choose "File" then "Pack as EIP" in older versions of the software. In newer versions of Capture One, you would go to "Image" and then select "Pack as EIP." Overall, the .EIP file format is very useful for professional photographers who use Capture One and Phase One equipment, as it helps maintain the quality and settings of their images across different platforms and devices.
