- Description
- The ST8 file type is associated with images captured by SBIG CCD cameras, specifically designed for astrophotography and scientific applications. These files contain raw, unprocessed data directly from the ST-X series of cameras, allowing astronomers and researchers to apply their own corrections and adjustments. The ST8 format is tailored to preserve the high-quality, detailed information required for in-depth analysis of celestial objects. As a specialized file type, it requires compatible software for viewing and editing.
- 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.
