- 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.
- An SK1 vector graphic file is a file format primarily used by the sK1 illustration program, which focuses on providing professional-quality design features for prepress processing. Unlike other vector formats, the SK1 file format is unique for its support of CMYK color, which is crucial for color accuracy in printing. It also includes advanced features such as color profiles and spot colors, making it particularly suitable for tasks that require precise color matching and high-quality print outputs.
