- 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 TIFF file is a graphics container that stores raster images. It may contain high-quality graphics that support color depths from 1 to 24-bit and supports both lossy and lossless compression. TIFF files also support multiple layers and pages.
