- Description
- Commonly found on PlayStation game consoles as it's used to develop the game software. TIM contains standard RGBA with transparency levels as well as 4,8,16,24, and 32 -bit color. An example of a game that used .tim is the GTA game series.
- It is an image compression codec file with the same quality as .jpeg, but that is ten smaller. It supports HDR (High Dynamic Range). SDR (Standard Dynamic Range), and WCG (Wide Color Gamut) images. Also, it contains both the image sequences and image items. The only pitfall is that a few applications support it.
