About SRW to ODD Conversion

SRW is Samsung's RAW format from the NX mirrorless camera system (NX1, NX500, NX300, NX30), which Samsung discontinued in 2015. SRW files store 14-bit data from Samsung's APS-C BSI-CMOS sensors. ODD is LibreOffice Draw's format for annotated documents.

Converting SRW to ODD preserves Samsung NX photography in an open-standard format with annotation capability. Since Samsung has abandoned the camera market entirely, SRW file support is at particular risk of disappearing from future software updates.

Why Convert SRW to ODD?

Samsung NX cameras are discontinued with no future software updates from Samsung. Third-party support for SRW files will inevitably decline. Converting to ODD is a proactive preservation measure that ensures these photographs remain accessible using actively maintained open-source software.

The Samsung NX1 in particular was a technically advanced camera (28 MP BSI-CMOS, 4K video) whose SRW files contain high-quality captures worth preserving in a future-proof annotated format.

Common Use Cases

  • Preserve Samsung NX photography archives before SRW software support vanishes completely
  • Create annotated catalog entries for Samsung NX camera collections
  • Build documented reference collections from discontinued Samsung NX system output
  • Annotate NX1 high-resolution captures with technical and archival notes

How It Works

The conversion reads the SRW container, decodes the 14-bit BSI-CMOS sensor data from Samsung's NX sensors, applies color correction using Samsung's embedded processing parameters, and embeds the resulting RGB image into an ODD XML package. The NX1's 28 MP sensor produces particularly detailed output.

Quality & Performance

Samsung NX sensors, especially the NX1's 28 MP BSI-CMOS, produced excellent image quality rivaling contemporaneous offerings from Canon and Nikon. The ODD conversion preserves this quality with Samsung's warm color rendering intact.

Tips for Best Results

  • 1Convert SRW to DNG for archival preservation AND to ODD for annotated cataloging — both serve different purposes
  • 2Document the Samsung NX model and lens used in annotations for complete archival records
  • 3The NX1's 28 MP output produces detailed ODD pages well-suited for zoomed-in annotation work
  • 4Export annotated SRW catalogs to PDF for sharing with photography preservation communities

SRW to ODD conversion is a critical preservation step for Samsung NX photography, protecting these orphaned camera system captures from inevitable format abandonment.

Frequently Asked Questions

No. Samsung exited the camera market in 2015 and has shown no indication of returning. SRW support depends entirely on third-party software.
The NX1 was excellent — 28 MP BSI-CMOS, 15 fps burst, 4K video. It was technologically ahead of its time when Samsung abandoned the market.
DNG is better for RAW archival (preserves sensor data). ODD is better for annotated documentation. Ideally, do both: DNG for archival, ODD for catalog documentation.
Moderately urgent. Adobe Lightroom still supports SRW, but as Samsung cameras become more obscure, support could be dropped in any future update.
