- 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 PSD file is an image file created by Adobe Photoshop, a professional image-editing program often used to enhance digital photos and create web graphics. It is the native format used to save files in Photoshop. PSD files may include image layers, adjustment layers, layer masks, annotations, file information, keywords, and other Photoshop-specific elements. They are commonly created and shared among graphics professionals.
