- 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 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.
