- Description
- The RL4 file type is associated with the Windows operating system, particularly designed for bitmap images. It specifically refers to a bitmap file format used in Windows environments for storing graphical images in a 4-bit RLE (Run-Length Encoded) format. This compression technique helps in reducing the file size without sacrificing the image quality significantly. RL4 files are typically used for storing simple graphics or icons with a limited color palette, making them efficient for applications where space conservation is important.
- 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.
