- Description
- Bitmap image generated by a Sun Microsystems workstation; native graphic format used by the Sun Unix operating system; uses a standard image format that can be read by several graphics programs.
- VIPS is a libvips file format mainly used for calculations, but it can also store images. The main advantage is that it has no size limit; it's fast and straightforward. Nonetheless, most applications can't view it, so converting it to a more popular format is the only way to work around it.
