- 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.
- 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.
