PiCture eXchange (.pcx)

The PCX file extension, standing for PiCture eXchange, is a raster image format developed by ZSoft Corporation in 1985 for its PC Paintbrush software. It became one of the first widely accepted DOS imaging standards, supporting palette-indexed images from 2 to 256 colors and later true-color (24-bit) images. PCX files use RLE (Run-Length Encoding) compression, making them smaller in size. Although largely replaced by formats like BMP, JPEG, and PNG, PCX was pivotal in early computer graphics and is still supported by various image processing software.

Digital Picture Exchange (.dpx)

The DPX (Digital Picture Exchange) 2.0 file format is a widely adopted standard for exchanging high-quality, resolution-independent, pixel-based images, primarily used in the film and post-production industries. Developed by the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE), DPX files store individual frames of scanned film or digital images, supporting both color and grayscale data. Introduced in 1994 and updated to version 2.0, DPX facilitates the transfer of digital images for film recording and digital cinema projection, ensuring consistent image quality across different platforms and devices.
