Seattle FilmWorks Image (.sfw)

The SFW file extension stands for Seattle FilmWorks Image, a proprietary bitmap image format created by Seattle FilmWorks, a company specializing in film processing and digital imaging. Although the company is now defunct, SFW files can still be viewed using specific software or converted to standard formats like JPEG. This format is not widely supported by modern image editing software.

Virtual Image Processing System (.vips)

The VIPS (Virtual Image Processing System) file format, developed by the libvips library, is designed for high-performance image processing with low memory usage. It supports arbitrary metadata and is optimized for command-line operations. Although not widely supported by other programs, it serves as an efficient intermediate format for tasks like image inversion and gamma correction. The format includes a 64-byte header with basic fields such as image width and a set of band-interleaved scanlines for the image data.
