The PCD (Photo CD) file extension, developed by Kodak, is used for storing digital images on a Photo CD. This format was introduced in the early 1990s to digitize and archive physical photographs. PCD files contain high-resolution images scanned from film, typically at resolutions of 3072 x 2048 pixels or higher. These files are utilized for preserving, viewing, and editing images using compatible software. The PCD format supports 24-bit color and includes multiple resolutions within a single file, facilitating versatile image processing and archival purposes.
The FITS (Flexible Image Transport System) file extension is widely utilized in the field of astronomy for storing, transmitting, and manipulating scientific data and images. Originating in the late 1970s, FITS was developed by NASA and the International Astronomical Union (IAU) to standardize the format for astronomical data. Its primary use is to archive astronomical images, spectral data, and other multidimensional data arrays, enabling efficient data interchange among scientists and astronomers. FITS files are known for their ability to store metadata and large datasets, making them essential for detailed scientific analysis and long-term preservation in research environments.
