Picture Exchange
The de facto standard for DOS paint programs.
PCX (Picture Exchange) was one of the first widely accepted standards for DOS imaging. Created by ZSoft for their PC Paintbrush software, it became the native format for Windows 3.0 Paintbrush and supported the evolution of PC graphics hardware from monochrome CGA to 256-color VGA and eventually 24-bit TrueColor.
PCX uses a header containing the version, dimensions, and palette information, followed by image data compressed using a simple Run-Length Encoding (RLE) scheme. This scheme was very efficient for the simple graphics of the 80s (large areas of flat color) but is poor for complex photographs. 256-color palettes are often appended at the end of the file.
Established in 1985. It enjoyed a decade of dominance before being displaced by BMP (on Windows), GIF (on the web), and JPEG (for photos). It is now largely obsolete but still recognized by many tools due to its historical significance.
BigTIFF
TIFF for files larger than 4GB.
BigTIFF (often referred to as TIFF64) is an extension of the classic TIFF format designed to break the 4GB file size barrier. It uses 64-bit offsets instead of 32-bit, allowing for files up to 18,000 petabytes.
Standard TIFF uses 32-bit integers for file offsets, limiting the file size to 2^32 bytes (4GB). BigTIFF changes the internal structure to use 64-bit integers. It is not backward compatible with older TIFF readers that only understand 32-bit offsets.
Developed to address the needs of geospatial and medical imaging, where single images often exceed 4GB. It is supported by LibTIFF starting from version 4.0.
