- Description
- The VDA file format, short for Targa Bitmap Image File, is a variant of the TGA file format (Truevision Advanced Raster Graphics Adapter) used for storing digital images. Developed by Truevision Inc., VDA files are raster graphics files that support various color depths, ranging from 1 to 32 bits per pixel, which includes support for alpha channels and compression. This format is designed to be highly flexible and is capable of storing high-quality images used in video editing and animations.
- A PPM file is a 24-bit color image formatted using a text format. It stores each pixel with a number from 0 to 65536, which specifies the color of the pixel. PPM files also store the image height and width, whitespace data, and the maximum color value.
