Silicon Graphics Image (.sgi)

The SGI file extension stands for Silicon Graphics Image, a raster graphics file format developed by Silicon Graphics Inc. primarily for their IRIS workstations. This format, originating in the late 1980s, supports uncompressed and RLE-compressed data with up to 48-bit color (16 bits per channel for RGB) and an alpha channel. SGI files are widely utilized in 3D graphics, visualization, and high-end imaging due to their ability to store high-quality images and intricate details, making them an essential asset in professional graphics and animation industries.

Portable Bitmap (.pbm)

The PBM (Portable Bitmap) file extension, part of the Netpbm project, originated in the late 1980s to facilitate efficient and portable graphics file interchange. Primarily, PBM files are used to store monochrome bitmaps in a simple ASCII text format, ensuring easy compatibility across different systems and platforms. This format supports only black-and-white imagery, making it particularly useful in scenarios where simplicity and minimalism are prioritized, such as in Unix environments for bitmap manipulation and transfer. Its historical significance lies in promoting a standardized approach to bitmap graphics in early computer technology.
