- 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 npm file type, associated with Neopaint Mask, is a specific format used by Neopaint, a painting and image editing software. These files typically contain mask data that can be applied to images within the Neopaint program, allowing users to selectively edit, enhance, or manipulate parts of an image. Npm files are used to preserve the mask settings and configurations, enabling users to reapply or adjust the mask in future editing sessions. This file type is particularly useful for graphic artists and photographers who require precise control over selective editing in their digital workflows.
