Truevision TGA (Targa)
The simple, reliable workhorse of video game textures.
TGA (Truevision Graphics Adapter), often called TARGA, is a raster graphics file format created in 1984. It was the first truecolor (24-bit) format for PC cards. Despite its age, it remains incredibly popular in the video game industry and broadcast graphics because it supports an alpha channel (32-bit images) and is extremely simple to parse.
A TGA file starts with an 18-byte header, followed by image identity information, optional color map, and then the pixel data. The pixel data can be raw or RLE compressed. The 32-bit version (RGBA) is particularly valued because the alpha channel is stored as a simple 4th byte per pixel, making it trivial for game engines to use.
Developed by Truevision for their TARGA and AT-Vista boards, which brought broadcast-quality video graphics to the IBM PC. It became the lingua franca of VGA graphics.
Palm Database
The generic database container for Palm OS.
PDB (Palm Database) is the standard file format for all data on Palm OS devices, from address books to e-books. In the context of images, a PDB file acts as a container for 'Palm Pixmap' images, typically storing them as a series of records. It was the only way to get data onto a Palm pilot.
A PDB file consists of a header (name, attributes, creation time) and a list of records. For images, these records contain the bitmap data (often compressed with RLE/PackBits). ImageMagick treats PDB files as a multi-image sequence if multiple bitmaps are stored in the records. The format is strictly structured to map directly to the device's RAM storage model.
Created by Palm Computing in 1996. It was designed to facilitate 'HotSync' between the handheld's RAM and the desktop PC. It became ubiquitous in the early 2000s PDA era.
