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.

Radiance Scene Description (.rad)

The RAD file extension, associated with the Radiance software suite, stands for Radiance Scene Description. It is used to describe materials and geometry for lighting simulations and rendering programs.

RAD files are ASCII text files that must be compiled into an octree before rendering.
