- Description
- The National Imagery Transmission Format (NITF) is a file format developed for the purpose of standardizing the storage and exchange of digital imagery and associated metadata among various government agencies and their contractors. It is widely used by the military, intelligence, and other governmental organizations to handle satellite and aerial imagery, maps, and other types of geospatial information. The NITF supports a wide range of imagery types, including but not limited to infrared, radar, and optical images. The format is designed to ensure interoperability and to facilitate the dissemination of critical imagery intelligence within secure and classified environments.
- 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.
