- Description
- The Sun Rasterfile, identified by the extension .rast, is a bitmap image file format originally developed for use on SunOS by Sun Microsystems. It is designed to store color and monochromatic raster images, such as scanned photographs and digital artwork. The format supports various color depths, including 1, 8, 24, and 32 bits per pixel, allowing for a range of color representations from simple black and white to full true color images. Despite its origins on Sun systems, the format can be used on various platforms and is supported by a variety of image editing and viewing software.
- A JPG file is an image saved in a compressed image format standardized by the Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG). It is commonly used for storing digital photos and used by most digital cameras to save images. JPG files are among the most common image files along with .PNG, .TIF, and .GIF.
