Seattle FilmWorks Image (.sfw)

The SFW file extension, created by Seattle FilmWorks, was used to store digital copies of photos processed by the company, allowing customers to receive both physical prints and digital images. Although not widely supported by modern software, SFW files can still be opened and converted using tools and older versions of image viewers. This format marks a significant step in the evolution of digital photography.

Portable Pixmap (.ppm)

The Portable Pixmap (PPM) file extension, an image format within the Netpbm family, stores simple, uncompressed images. Introduced in the late 1980s, PPM supports RGB color and grayscale images, making it suitable for basic image processing and conversion tasks. Its plain text encoding simplifies debugging and data manipulation, although its lack of compression results in larger file sizes compared to modern formats. As such, PPM finds limited use in contemporary applications, mainly in educational and experimental settings where ease of implementation and readability are prioritized.
