- The OpenRaster Image File format was created by the OpenRaster project.
- Description
- A DDS DX10 file is a raster image saved in the DirectDraw Surface (DDS) container format whose DX10 extension header selects a DirectX 10 or newer texture format. It stores the texture data in one of Microsoft's DXGI formats — block-compressed GPU textures (BC1–BC7), high-dynamic-range BC6H data or uncompressed formats — and is mostly used for textures, normal maps and cube maps in modern games. Legacy DDS readers often fail on these files.
- Image file saved in the OpenRaster format, and open raster graphics format that supports multiple layers; supports multiple layers and contains both image data and metadata, including XMP and EXIF tags.
