- 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.
- PDS (Planetary Data System) is a file type that is used to store data collected from spacecraft missions sent to explore planets and other bodies in our solar system. This data includes images, spectra, and other measurements, and is stored in a standard format to allow for easy access and analysis.
