- Description
- The PPMA file format, also known as Portable Bitmap, is a plain text format used for representing bitmap images. This format is a part of the Netpbm suite, which includes various formats for portable grayscale, color, and bitmap images. PPMA files specifically store color images using ASCII text to describe the width, height, maximum color value, and the pixel values in terms of red, green, and blue components. It is designed for simplicity and ease of transfer between different computer systems, though the ASCII representation makes it less efficient in terms of file size compared to binary image formats.
- A PSD file is an image file created by Adobe Photoshop, a professional image-editing program often used to enhance digital photos and create web graphics. It is the native format used to save files in Photoshop. PSD files may include image layers, adjustment layers, layer masks, annotations, file information, keywords, and other Photoshop-specific elements. They are commonly created and shared among graphics professionals.
