- 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 WEBP file is an image saved in the WebP (pronounced "Weppy") raster image format developed by Google for web graphics. It is designed to reduce image file sizes over standard JPEG compression while maintaining the same or similar quality. WEBP files allow images to be downloaded more quickly.
