Pentax Electronic File
Pentax's native raw format, offering a choice against DNG.
PEF is the proprietary raw image format used by Pentax (Ricoh) cameras. Uniquely, Pentax DSLRs (like the K-1 and K-3) allow users to choose between saving files as PEF or Adobe DNG in-camera. PEF files contain the raw sensor data and proprietary metadata that is optimized for Pentax's own software.
PEF is a TIFF-based format using lossless compression. It is functionally very similar to DNG, but because it is proprietary, it may contain specific 'MakerNotes' that third-party software might not fully decode (though this is rare nowadays).
Pentax has used PEF since their first digital SLRs. Despite adopting DNG as an in-camera option, they have kept PEF as the default native format.
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.
