- Description
- The MacPaint file format, abbreviated as MACP, is a bitmap graphics format that was native to the MacPaint application. Developed by Apple Inc., MacPaint was one of the first widely used graphics editors, released in 1984 for the original Macintosh. The MACP format is characterized by its ability to store black-and-white images at a resolution of 72 DPI, reflecting the capabilities of early Macintosh displays. Despite its historical significance, the format and the application have become obsolete, with MacPaint being discontinued and the MACP format largely unsupported by modern graphics software.
- A DCM file is an image file saved in the Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) image format. It stores a medical image, such as a CT scan or ultrasound. DCM files may also include patient information to pair the image with the patient.
