eXperimental Computing Facility
| Extension | .xcf |
| Category | 🔵 images |
| Programs | 🔵 CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X7 🔵 CinePaint 🔵 Seashore 🔵 KolourPint |
| Main program | 🔵 GNU Image Manipulation Program (GIMP) |
| Description | 🔵 .xcf (eXperimental Computing Facility) The .xcf format is the native image file format of the GIMP software (GNU Image Manipulation Program). It is used to store the entire composition, including layers, channels, paths, and other elements that are part of a GIMP image. The XCF format is designed to preserve all information GIMP can contain about an image; however, due to its specific nature, it is not widely supported outside of GIMP. For sharing, images in XCF format are often exported to more universally recognized formats like PNG or JPEG. |
| Technical details | 🔵 The `.xcf` file format, native to GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program), supports advanced image editing. Key features include: - Layer Support: Maintains multiple image layers for complex editing. - Channel and Path Storage: Stores alpha channels for transparency and vector-based paths. - Text Layers: Supports editable text layers, preserving text quality during adjustments. - Compression: Uses RLE compression to reduce file size without data loss. - Undo History: Can store undo history for reverting changes after reopening. - Guides and Grids: Includes non-printing alignment guides and grids. - Color Profiles: Ensures consistent color reproduction across devices. - Resolution Information: Retains resolution data, crucial for printing. - Extensibility: Designed for future enhancements while maintaining backward compatibility. - Compatibility: Best supported by GIMP; limited support in other editors. - File Size: Generally larger than compressed formats like .jpg or .png due to additional information. - Non-Destructive Editing: Allows edits without losing original image data. - No Quality Loss: Preserves quality across editing sessions, unlike lossy formats. - Layer Effects and Filters: Stores adjustable layer effects and filters. Ideal for intermediate storage of editable images, especially complex ones, the `.xcf` format is often exported to formats like .jpg, .png, or .tiff for final distribution. |

Truevision Targa Graphic File
| Extension | .tga |
| Category | 🔵 images |
| Programs | 🔵 Adobe Photoshop 🔵 Corel Paint Shop Pro 🔵 GIMP 🔵 Painter |
| Description | 🔵 TGA, commonly known as TARGA, is a bitmap graphic file format. It was originally created by Truevision Incorporated in 1984 for their graphic cards, but later became popular for various platforms, especially in video editing and animations. This file format supports color definitions of 1-32 bits per pixel, as well as alpha channels and compression RLE. |
| Technical details | 🔵 The stored images range from 8 to 32 bits. The 32-bit image has a transparent 24-bit color depth. The colors available for the pictures are defined using a palette. TGA images typically have large file sizes due to the number of bits used to represent pixels. This is determined by the color depth, which is why files in this format tend to be large. Compression of these files can be achieved through encoding, resulting in a reduction in file size. |
