- 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 ICB file format, standing for Targa ICB Bitmap Image, is a type of image file associated with the Targa (Truevision Advanced Raster Graphics Adapter) image format. Targa files, including ICB, are known for their versatility in handling various types of digital images, including color, grayscale, and monochrome. The ICB variant is part of a broader family of Targa formats, which are often used in professional environments for digital video editing, animation, and graphic design.
