- Description
- The Ximage (XIM) file format is primarily associated with images created or processed within certain graphics software applications, particularly those related to the X Window System, a windowing system for bitmap displays commonly used with UNIX and Linux environments. XIM files store image data in a format that can be easily rendered or manipulated by applications that support this format. This can include color, bitmap, and possibly layer information depending on the specifics of the software used. The format is specifically designed to facilitate the exchange and manipulation of graphical images across applications and platforms that utilize the X Window System.
- A PSD file is an image file created by Adobe Photoshop, a professional image-editing program often used to enhance digital photos and create web graphics. It is the native format used to save files in Photoshop. PSD files may include image layers, adjustment layers, layer masks, annotations, file information, keywords, and other Photoshop-specific elements. They are commonly created and shared among graphics professionals.
