- 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 PCC file format is associated with ZSoft Corporation's Publisher's Paintbrush, an early and popular bitmap graphics editing program. PCC files contain image data saved in a compressed format, allowing for efficient storage and manipulation of digital images. This format was widely used in the late 1980s and early 1990s, particularly in the realm of PC-based graphic design and desktop publishing. Over time, as new graphics editing software emerged, the use of PCC files has diminished, but they can still be viewed with some specialized or legacy image viewing applications.
