The CUT file extension stands for Dr. Halo Bitmap Image. Originally developed by Media Cybernetics for the Dr. Halo software, it is a device-independent bitmap image format that supports 8 bits per pixel, allowing for a total of 256 colors. CUT files are used for storing small bitmap images and require a separate PAL file to define colors. Without this palette file, the images display as grayscale. Over time, support for CUT files has expanded to various other applications.
The DirectDraw Surface (DDS) file extension is used primarily for storing graphical textures and cubic environment maps in the field of computer technology. Introduced by Microsoft with DirectX 7.0, DDS files facilitate efficient loading and storage of texture data, crucial for rendering 3D graphics in real-time applications like video games and simulation software. These files support both uncompressed and compressed formats, leveraging S3 Texture Compression (S3TC) to optimize memory usage and performance. DDS files are indispensable in modern graphics programming, enabling quick texture manipulation and robust graphical asset management.
