- Description
- Ptiff is a type of image file that is created by compressing a TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) image using a wavelet-based encoding, known as pyramidal encoding. This type of file can store both lossy and lossless compressed images and is often used for storing large-scale images such as aerial photographs or medical images.
- FTS file format is used to edit, store and transmit images with metadata (data with spatial and photometric calibrations) for scientific purposes. Most times it stores the data without the actual associated images.
