- 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 PSPMASK file type is associated with Corel PaintShop Pro, a popular image editing software. It is specifically used for storing mask files, which are templates that allow users to isolate and protect certain parts of an image during editing, enabling selective adjustments without affecting the rest of the image. These mask files can be applied to various layers or images to create effects, composite images, or perform non-destructive editing. PSPMASK files facilitate complex photo editing tasks by allowing users to blend, alter, or remove specific portions of an image with precision.
