- The X3F file format, also known as the SIGMA X3F Camera RAW File, is a proprietary image format developed by Sigma Corporation for storing raw image data captured by Sigma cameras equipped with the Foveon X3 sensor. Unlike standard JPEGs or TIFFs, X3F files contain unprocessed data from the camera's sensor, offering photographers greater flexibility in image editing.
- Image file saved in the Macintosh PICT format; may contain both vector and bitmap data and can use thousands of colors; also supports RLE (Run-length encoding) and JPEG compression to reduce the file size.
