- Description
- The RPF file type, associated with Wavefront Technologies, refers to a raster image format used primarily in 3D rendering and animation software. This format contains pixel data that can be used to store both regular images and render-specific information such as depth, transparency, and object ID, which are crucial for compositing and post-processing in visual effects and animation workflows. RPF files enable the storage of complex imaging data in a structured way, allowing for enhanced manipulation and editing capabilities in supported software. Despite its specific associations, it is less commonly encountered in general graphic design work compared to other raster image formats.
- 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.
