- Description
- An ICO file is an image format used to store icons for Windows programs, files, and folders. It contains two bitmaps: 1) the AND bitmap - the image mask (which determines what part of the icon is transparent) and 2) the XOR bitmap - contains the icon which is mapped onto the image mask. ICO files can be modified to create custom icons.
- The ISH file type is associated with the Image System (Hires), a format used for storing high-resolution images. Originally designed to handle detailed graphical data, ISH files are typically utilized in environments where image clarity and precision are paramount. These files can encompass a wide range of visual data, from digital art to sophisticated scientific imagery. Due to their high-resolution nature, ISH files are often larger in size compared to standard image formats, necessitating more storage space.
