- Description
- The CAT file type, associated with Photomatix, is a proprietary file format used by Photomatix software, which is a popular tool for creating and editing high dynamic range (HDR) images. This file format is specifically designed to store data and settings used during the HDR photo editing process, such as tone mapping and exposure blending options. By saving a project as a CAT file, users can preserve their editing workflow, allowing for easy revisiting and adjustment of HDR images at any point in the future. This makes the CAT file format an essential asset for photographers and digital artists who frequently work with HDR imaging in Photomatix.
- A JPEG file is an image saved in a compressed graphic format standardized by the Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG). It supports up to 24-bit color and is compressed using lossy compression, which may noticeably reduce the image quality if high amounts of compression are used. JPEG files are commonly used for storing digital photos and web graphics.
