- Description
- The Iris Graphics file type, commonly associated with the extension .iris, originates from Silicon Graphics for use on their workstations. It is designed for storing high-quality images, particularly in the field of computer graphics and 3D rendering. This file format is tailored to support complex visual data, accommodating a range of color depths and resolutions suitable for professional graphics work. Despite its specialized use, the Iris Graphics format is less common today, having been superseded by more versatile image formats.
- Image file saved by the Krita painting program. A Krita file is a zip archive holding the full layer stack: each layer's pixel data as compressed tiles, its name, position, opacity, blending mode and visibility, plus a merged preview of the whole image.
