- Description
- HDRI (High Dynamic Range Imaging) is a file format used for images that preserve a wide range of luminance levels, more than what standard digital imaging techniques or photographic methods can capture. This allows for more accurate representation of the intensity and range of light in real scenes, from direct sunlight to faint starlight. HDRI files are often used in 3D modeling, visual effects, and photography to achieve more realistic lighting and shading. They can store image data with a greater bit depth per channel than standard 8-bit images, enabling finer gradations of shade and light.
- A GIF file is an image file often used for web graphics. It may contain up to 256 indexed colors with a color palette that may be a predefined set of colors or may be adapted to the colors in the image. GIF files are saved in a lossless format, meaning the clarity of the image is not compromised with GIF compression.
