- Description
- A PCT file is an image saved in the Macintosh PICT format, which was developed by Apple in 1984 for storing images using Apple QuickDraw technology. It contains image data in one of two formats, PICT 1, the original format that stores 8 colors, or PICT 2, a newer format that allows thousands of colors (24 and 32-bit images). PCT files support both raster and vector images.
- The MIFF (Magick Image File Format) is a versatile image format used primarily by ImageMagick, a software suite for creating, editing, converting, and displaying bitmap images. It is designed to store bitmap images with a high degree of flexibility, supporting various depths and color spaces, including transparency and multiple layers. MIFF files are often used for temporary storage during image processing tasks, as they can efficiently preserve the full quality and attributes of images.
