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.

Portable Floatmap (.pfm)

The Portable Floatmap (PFM) file format, also known as Portable FloatMap, is an image file format designed to store High Dynamic Range (HDR) images using floating-point values. Developed in the spirit of the Portable Pixmap format, PFM files contain image data with resolutions and byte order specified in the header. This format is particularly useful for applications requiring precise image data, such as computer graphics and image processing. PFM has been widely adopted in the IT industry for its ability to handle a wide range of pixel values beyond the standard 0-255 range, making it ideal for HDR imaging and other advanced visualizations.
