Brother PE Embroidery Format (.pes)

The PES file extension stands for "Brother PE Embroidery Format", developed by Brother Industries for their embroidery machines. PES files contain detailed instructions for stitching patterns, including design information, colors, and machine commands like "stop", "jump", and "trim". Initially exclusive to Brother machines, the format's utility led to its broader adoption in the embroidery industry. PES files are primarily created using Brother's PE-Design software and are compatible with various home embroidery machines, including Babylock and Bernina.

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.
