- Description
- 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.
- Ptiff is a type of image file that is created by compressing a TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) image using a wavelet-based encoding, known as pyramidal encoding. This type of file can store both lossy and lossless compressed images and is often used for storing large-scale images such as aerial photographs or medical images.
