- Description
- It is an icon image file used to show application icons in the macOS Finder and macOS dock. It contains one or several .PNG images and it supports 1bit and 8-bit alpha channels.
- 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.
