- Description
- The ST5 file type is specifically associated with images captured using SBIG CCD cameras, particularly the ST-X series models. These files contain raw, unprocessed image data directly from the camera's charge-coupled device (CCD), which is sensitive to light. The format is designed to preserve the maximum amount of image information, allowing astronomers and astrophotographers to perform detailed post-processing. The ST5 format is commonly used in astrophotography and astronomical research, where high precision and image fidelity are crucial.
- Windows vector graphics format recognized by many image-editing applications; basically a 32-bit version of the original Windows Metafile Format (.WMF), which only supports 16-bit data; saves image data in an RGB format and does not support CMYK data.
