Silicon Graphics Image (.sgi)

The Silicon Graphics Image (SGI) file format, developed by Silicon Graphics Inc. in 1995, is a raster graphics format designed for high-quality color images. It supports 8 to 32 bits per pixel, three primary color channels, and an optional alpha channel for transparency. The format employs run-length encoding (RLE) compression to minimize file sizes. Initially utilized on Silicon Graphics workstations, the SGI format remains compatible with modern image viewers and editors.

Digital Picture Exchange (.dpx)

The DPX (Digital Picture Exchange) 2.0 file format is a widely adopted standard for exchanging high-quality, resolution-independent, pixel-based images, primarily used in the film and post-production industries. Developed by the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE), DPX files store individual frames of scanned film or digital images, supporting both color and grayscale data. Introduced in 1994 and updated to version 2.0, DPX facilitates the transfer of digital images for film recording and digital cinema projection, ensuring consistent image quality across different platforms and devices.
