Truevision Graphics Adapter (.tga)

The TGA file extension, created by Truevision Inc. in 1984, is a raster graphics format that supports multiple color depths and transparency. Originally designed for Truevision's graphics cards, TGA files are widely used in video game development, film, and animation to store high-resolution images with minimal quality loss. The format includes metadata sections and can be edited with popular image editing software.

Continuous Acquisition and Life-cycle Support Type 1 Image (.cals)

The CALS (Continuous Acquisition and Life-cycle Support) Type 1 Image file format, developed by the United States Department of Defense in the mid-1980s, is a standard for storing raster (bit-mapped) image data, typically black-and-white. It ensures efficient data interchange and retention of orientation metadata. The format supports both uncompressed and compressed (using CCITT Group 4 compression) images. This standard was part of the broader CALS initiative aimed at improving electronic publishing and data management within the federal government.
