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.
The SIXEL, or "six pixels", is a bitmap graphics format created by Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) for their terminals and printers. Initially designed for DEC dot matrix printers like the LA50, it enabled the efficient transfer of bitmap graphics using a series of ASCII characters. Each character represents a 6-pixel high row, making it suitable for 7-bit serial communication. This format was later adapted for modern terminal emulators, extending its utility beyond its original scope.
