- Description
- The Polychrome Recursive Format (PRF) is a specialized file format used primarily in the context of advanced image processing and computer graphics. It is designed to efficiently store and manipulate images with high color depth, supporting a wide range of colors and gradients. The "recursive" aspect of the format refers to its ability to apply iterative processes for image compression and decompression, allowing for high-quality images at lower file sizes. PRF files are utilized in applications where precise color representation and image fidelity are critical, such as digital art, professional photography, and scientific visualization.
- 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.
