- Description
- The RLC file format, specifically denoted as Image Systems RLC2 Graphic, is a type of image file used primarily for storing bitmap graphics. Developed by Image Systems, this format is designed to store high-quality images in a compressed manner to save space without significantly sacrificing the image's integrity. RLC files are often used in specific industries or with specialized software that recognizes the RLC2 Graphic format. This makes them less common in general graphic design but valuable for targeted applications requiring the format's specific benefits.
- Image file saved by the Krita painting program. A Krita file is a zip archive holding the full layer stack: each layer's pixel data as compressed tiles, its name, position, opacity, blending mode and visibility, plus a merged preview of the whole image.
