- Description
- The CUT file format is associated with Dr. Halo, a bitmap image file. It is primarily used to store raster graphics images created or processed within the Dr. Halo suite of graphic editing programs. CUT files contain bitmap images, which are composed of a grid of pixels or dots to represent images pixel by pixel. This format was more commonly used in earlier versions of Windows and DOS applications related to graphic design and image processing. Despite its limited use today, some graphic editors and converters still support the CUT file.
- An ICO file is an image format used to store icons for Windows programs, files, and folders. It contains two bitmaps: 1) the AND bitmap - the image mask (which determines what part of the icon is transparent) and 2) the XOR bitmap - contains the icon which is mapped onto the image mask. ICO files can be modified to create custom icons.
