- Description
- The NEO file format, associated with Neochrome (ST & TT), is a bitmap image file type originally designed for use on Atari ST and Atari TT series computers. It is known for storing pixel-based images in a specific color palette that was popular among early computer graphics and digital art in the 1980s and early 1990s. The format supports a limited number of colors, typical of the graphical capabilities of the hardware of that era. NEO files were commonly used by artists and game developers for creating and sharing digital images, sprites, and backgrounds in a low-resolution format.
- Image stored in the JPEG XR format, which was originally developed by Microsoft for Windows Media software; supports deep color images with 48-bit RGB; used for high-resolution professional image editing; also supports lossless and lossy compression.
