X3F

The X3F file format is a raw image format used primarily by Sigma cameras, preserving unprocessed image data for maximum post-processing flexibility. This format captures the full dynamic range and detail of photos, making it ideal for professional photographers seeking high-quality results. Ensure compatibility with editing software to fully exploit the advantages of this robust file format.

PPM

The Portable Pixmap Format (PPM) is a simple and widely-used image file format that stores pixel data in a human-readable format. Ideal for basic graphics applications, PPM files support RGB color encoding and are versatile for both software developers and graphic designers. Despite larger file sizes compared to compressed formats, PPM's simplicity makes it a preferred choice for image manipulation and teaching digital imaging concepts.
