About PGX Format

JPEG 2000 VM Uncompressed

A single-component test format for JPEG 2000 verification.

Overview

PGX is an extremely simple, uncompressed raster format created specifically for the development and testing of the JPEG 2000 standard (ISO 15444). It is defined in the JPEG 2000 Verification Model (VM). Its purpose is to store a single component (channel) of an image with potentially high bit depth and signed/unsigned values, without the complexity of a full image container.

Technical Details

A PGX file represents one image channel (grayscale). It starts with a minimalist text header identifying the endianness (`LMS` or `Big`), the sign (`+`/`-`), the bit depth, and dimensions. The raw pixel data follows immediately. It is effectively a raw dump of a single image plane.

History

Developed by the JPEG committee during the creation of JPEG 2000. It allowed researchers to test wavelet compression algorithms on raw data without worrying about file headers or color transforms.

Common Use Cases

  • Algorithm Testing: Testing a new wavelet transform implementation.
  • JPEG 2000 Component Separation: Storing the separated Y, U, and V channels of an image before compression.

Advantages

  • Precision

Limitations

  • Grayscale Only
  • Obscure

About PSB Format

Photoshop Big

The 'Large Document Format' for managing gigapixel images.

Overview

PSB (Photoshop Big) is an extension of the PSD format designed to break the barriers of the 2GB file size limit and 30,000 pixel dimension limit of standard PSD files. It is structurally almost identical to PSD but uses 64-bit offsets inside the file to support massive files up to 4 Exabytes (theoretically) and 300,000 pixels in width/height.

Technical Details

Internally, a PSB file mirrors the block structure of a PSD (Header, Color Mode, Image Resources, Layer and Mask Info, Image Data). The key difference is the bit-width of length integers; PSB uses 8 bytes (64-bit) where PSD uses 4 bytes (32-bit) for describing file offsets and dimensions.

History

Introduced in Adobe Photoshop CS (v8.0) in 2003 to support the growing needs of astronomical imaging, billboard printing, and HDR photography.

Common Use Cases

  • Billboard Design: Designing a 50-foot wide banner at 300 DPI.
  • HDR Compositing: Multi-layer 32-bit float compositions often exceed 2GB quickly.

Advantages

  • Massive Scale
  • Full Feature Set

Limitations

  • Compatibility
  • Slow
