- 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.
- WebP Image (WEP) is an image file format developed by Google in 2010. It is based on the VP8 video format and is used to create smaller, higher quality, and lossy compressed images. It is supported by most major web browsers and is commonly used for web graphics.
