- Description
- The XCF file format is the native image format used by GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program), a free and open-source raster graphics editor used for image editing, free-form drawing, converting between different image formats, and more specialized tasks. XCF stands for eXperimental Computing Facility, which was the name of the lab where GIMP was originally developed. XCF files are designed to store all the information that GIMP needs to accurately render an image.
- The CPI file format is associated with Calamus, a sophisticated desktop publishing application originally developed for the Atari ST computer in the late 1980s. Calamus offers precise control over layout and typography, catering to professionals in desktop publishing. CPI files specifically contain document information that Calamus uses, including layout templates, graphic elements, and text formatting details. This format is essential for preserving the integrity and design of a publication within the Calamus ecosystem.
