- Description
- The CAD file type, associated with Autodesk QuickCAD, specifically refers to a thumbnail image file. These thumbnail files serve as small, visual previews of the larger, more detailed CAD (Computer-Aided Design) drawings created within the QuickCAD software. They are used for quickly identifying and navigating through multiple CAD files by providing a visual snapshot of the content without the need to open the full drawing. This feature enhances user efficiency and file management in design and drafting projects.
- A PSD file is an image file created by Adobe Photoshop, a professional image-editing program often used to enhance digital photos and create web graphics. It is the native format used to save files in Photoshop. PSD files may include image layers, adjustment layers, layer masks, annotations, file information, keywords, and other Photoshop-specific elements. They are commonly created and shared among graphics professionals.
