OpenEXR (.exr)

The EXR file extension stands for OpenEXR, a high dynamic range (HDR) image file format developed by Industrial Light & Magic (ILM) in 1999 for visual effects and film production. OpenEXR is widely used for its ability to store multi-channel, floating-point images, supporting complex visual effects workflows with superior image quality and precision. Its features include lossless and lossy compression, arbitrary image channels, and a flexible data structure, making it an essential tool in professional digital imaging and animation industries.

Portable Bitmap (.pbm)

The PBM (Portable Bitmap) file extension, part of the Netpbm project, originated in the late 1980s to facilitate efficient and portable graphics file interchange. Primarily, PBM files are used to store monochrome bitmaps in a simple ASCII text format, ensuring easy compatibility across different systems and platforms. This format supports only black-and-white imagery, making it particularly useful in scenarios where simplicity and minimalism are prioritized, such as in Unix environments for bitmap manipulation and transfer. Its historical significance lies in promoting a standardized approach to bitmap graphics in early computer technology.
