- Description
- Pfaff Embroidery Design Files (PCM) are a proprietary file format used to store embroidery designs produced by the Pfaff brand of embroidery machines. PCM files contain stitch patterns which can be used to embroidery clothing, accessories, and other textiles. These files can be opened and edited using various Pfaff design software applications.
- The FPX (FlashPix Bitmap Image File) format is a type of image file designed to support high-resolution photographs and images. Developed in the mid-1990s by a consortium including Kodak, Microsoft, Hewlett-Packard, and Live Picture Inc., the FPX format is based on the Image Content Architecture (ICA), which allows it to store multiple resolutions of an image within a single file. This makes it especially useful for efficiently viewing and editing images without requiring the full image file.
