- 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 TIFF file is a graphics container that stores raster images. It may contain high-quality graphics that support color depths from 1 to 24-bit and supports both lossy and lossless compression. TIFF files also support multiple layers and pages.
