- Description
- Portable Float Map, an uncompressed high-dynamic-range raster image format that stores each pixel as 32-bit floating-point values, in colour (PF) or greyscale (Pf).
- VIPS is a libvips file format mainly used for calculations, but it can also store images. The main advantage is that it has no size limit; it's fast and straightforward. Nonetheless, most applications can't view it, so converting it to a more popular format is the only way to work around it.
