- Description
- The CIT file format, associated with Intergraph, is primarily used for storing raster graphics data. It is designed to handle scanned images, particularly in engineering, mapping, and construction projects where high precision and detail are required. The format is optimized for efficient storage and retrieval, supporting lossless compression to maintain the quality of the images. Intergraph systems utilize this format to manage and process large datasets of graphical information in professional environments.
- A GIF file is an image file often used for web graphics. It may contain up to 256 indexed colors with a color palette that may be a predefined set of colors or may be adapted to the colors in the image. GIF files are saved in a lossless format, meaning the clarity of the image is not compromised with GIF compression.
