Wavefront Run-Length Encoded Version A Image (.rla)

The RLA file extension stands for Run-Length Encoded, Version A, a bitmap image format developed by Alias/Wavefront. It is primarily used for storing raster graphics with run-length encoding to compress image data efficiently. RLA files are compatible with various image viewing and editing software, such as XnView. This format was popularized in the early days of computer graphics for its ability to handle arbitrary image channels and support efficient storage of large images.

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.
