- Description
- The ST6 file type is associated with the SBIG CCD camera ST-X series, which are specialized cameras used in astronomy for capturing images of celestial objects. These files contain raw image data captured by the camera's charge-coupled device (CCD), allowing astronomers and astrophotographers to process and analyze the images with high precision. The ST6 format is designed to preserve the original quality and detail of astronomical observations, making it crucial for research and detailed study of the night sky. It typically requires specific software to open and process the data for further use in astronomical analysis and imaging.
- 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.
