- Description
- The GN file type, associated with Apollo HDRU (High Dynamic Range Utility), is a proprietary format used for storing and processing high dynamic range images. These files are specifically designed to retain a wide range of luminosity levels, allowing for more detailed and realistic representations of scenes with significant contrasts in brightness. The Apollo HDRU software leverages the GN format to enable advanced editing, tone mapping, and rendering capabilities that enhance the visual quality of images without losing detail in both shadow and light areas. This makes GN files particularly valuable for professional photographers, graphic designers, and any visual media creators seeking to achieve the highest quality in digital imaging.
- 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.
