- Description
- The X11 file type, associated with the X Windows System, is a format designed to contain screen or window dumps (screenshots) from the X Window System, a windowing system for bitmap displays common on UNIX-like operating systems. These dumps are essentially captures of the graphical output of applications running within the X environment, saved in a format that can be viewed or analyzed later. The X Window System serves as the foundational graphical interface for many Linux and UNIX systems, facilitating a wide range of graphical applications. X11 files enable users to save and share the state of a graphical interface at a specific point in time, useful for documentation, debugging, or graphic design purposes.
- 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.
