- Description
- The PIX file format is associated with PCI Geomatics, a software suite used for geospatial image processing and analysis. A PCI Geomatics Database File (PIX) contains raster data, which represents geographic information in a pixelated format. This file type is specifically designed to store and manage complex geospatial datasets, including satellite imagery, aerial photos, and other forms of remote sensing data. The PIX format is capable of handling multiple bands or layers of data, making it suitable for various applications.
- 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.
