- Description
- The SFW file format is associated with Seattle FilmWorks, a photography and film processing company. It was primarily used for images that were developed and digitized by Seattle FilmWorks. The format was proprietary, meaning it required specific software provided by Seattle FilmWorks or compatible third-party applications to view or convert the images. SFW files were popular in the late 1990s and early 2000s, especially among consumers who used Seattle FilmWorks' mail-order film developing service.
- JBIG is a lossless compression file format that was created for the fax machine; it can be used by other image file formats. The files created by JBIG format are smaller compared to G3 and G4 file formats.
