Pentax Electronic File (.pef)

The PEF (Pentax Electronic File) is a raw image format used by Pentax digital cameras, storing unprocessed data directly from the camera's sensor. This format retains all captured information, offering greater flexibility for post-processing and high-quality image editing. PEF files are similar to other raw formats like CR2 and NEF and are typically edited using specialized software such as Adobe Photoshop or Pentax's Digital Camera Utility.

Continuous Acquisition and Life-cycle Support Type 1 Image (.cals)

The CALS (Continuous Acquisition and Life-cycle Support) Type 1 Image file format, developed by the United States Department of Defense in the mid-1980s, is a standard for storing raster (bit-mapped) image data, typically black-and-white. It ensures efficient data interchange and retention of orientation metadata. The format supports both uncompressed and compressed (using CCITT Group 4 compression) images. This standard was part of the broader CALS initiative aimed at improving electronic publishing and data management within the federal government.
