The PEF (Pentax Electronic File) is a raw image file format used by Pentax digital cameras. It contains unprocessed data directly from the camera's image sensor, allowing for greater post-processing flexibility and higher-quality images. Introduced by Pentax, this format retains more image information compared to compressed formats like JPEG, making it popular among professional photographers. PEF files can be opened and edited with various software, including Adobe Photoshop and Pentax's own Digital Camera Utility.
The PBM (Portable Bitmap) file extension, part of the Netpbm project, originated in the late 1980s to facilitate efficient and portable graphics file interchange. Primarily, PBM files are used to store monochrome bitmaps in a simple ASCII text format, ensuring easy compatibility across different systems and platforms. This format supports only black-and-white imagery, making it particularly useful in scenarios where simplicity and minimalism are prioritized, such as in Unix environments for bitmap manipulation and transfer. Its historical significance lies in promoting a standardized approach to bitmap graphics in early computer technology.
