The PCDS file extension stands for Photo CD Multi-resolution Bitmap Graphics, a format developed by Kodak in 1991 for digitizing and storing high-quality images on CDs. PCDS files were used to store scanned prints and slides, leveraging proprietary encoding to maintain image quality. This format was part of Kodak's Photo CD system, which aimed to provide a reliable method for archiving and accessing digital photographs.
The Portable Floatmap (PFM) file format, also known as Portable FloatMap, is an image file format designed to store High Dynamic Range (HDR) images using floating-point values. Developed in the spirit of the Portable Pixmap format, PFM files contain image data with resolutions and byte order specified in the header. This format is particularly useful for applications requiring precise image data, such as computer graphics and image processing. PFM has been widely adopted in the IT industry for its ability to handle a wide range of pixel values beyond the standard 0-255 range, making it ideal for HDR imaging and other advanced visualizations.
