- 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 TIFF file is a graphics container that stores raster images. It may contain high-quality graphics that support color depths from 1 to 24-bit and supports both lossy and lossless compression. TIFF files also support multiple layers and pages.
