Scitex Continuous Tone (.sct)

The Scitex Continuous Tone (SCT) file format, developed by Scitex, is used for high-end image processing and supports CMYK, RGB, and grayscale images. SCT files are uncompressed, ensuring high image quality, and are typically used with Scitex graphics processors and image editing software. This format was designed to maintain the integrity of large, detailed images used in professional graphics workflows.

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.
