- Description
- The SCR file format, standing for Sun Rasterfile, is a raster graphics file format developed by Sun Microsystems. It is primarily used for storing bitmap images on SunOS/Solaris operating systems. The format supports various color depths, including 1, 8, 24, and 32-bit color images, allowing it to handle both grayscale and color images. SCR files are notable for their simplicity and were widely used in SunOS environments for graphical data storage and manipulation.
- A BMP file is an uncompressed raster image comprised of a rectangular grid of pixels. It contains a file header (bitmap identifier, file size, width, height, color options, and bitmap data starting point) and bitmap pixels, each with a different color.
