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.

Khoros Visualization Image File Format (.viff)

VIFF and XV both stand for an identical format. The VIFF (Khoros Visualization Image File Format) is the native format for the Khoros System, a visual programming environment for image processing and visualization in scientific and commercial research. VIFF files support various image types with color spaces and can store multiple images per file. The format includes a 1024-byte header, followed by image data and optional colormap data, making it ideal for image and signal processing, pattern recognition, and geographic information systems.
