What is an EIP file?

EIP files mostly belong to Capture One by Capture One. EIP is the filename extension of Enhanced Image Package files created by Capture One image editing software. An Enhanced Image Package is actually a ZIP archive used to transfer RAW images between Capture One installations on different computers. The EIP file serves as a single container that stores the RAW image, settings, LCC profiles, and custom ICC profiles used in an editing session. Capture One uses EIP format for import and capture operations. The RAW image in the EIP file is stored in the camera's manufacturer's RAW image format. To pack the image and other information in an editing session into an EIP file, open the "File" menu in Capture One and select "Pack as EIP". The "Unpack EIP" option in the same menu can be used to unpack an Enhanced Image Package (EIP file).

EIP file format details:

The file format, which is the arrangement and type of data in a file, determines which program can open the file. A file format is determined by the file extension and signature, so JPEG images have the extension .jpg and the first bytes in the file are ÿØÿ. If the file extension does not match the file format, double-clicking on the file will cause an error upon opening.
