GIMP Image
The native project format of the GNU Image Manipulation Program.
XCF (eXperimental Computing Facility) is the native file format of the GIMP. Like Adobe's PSD, it stores all the editing data of an image project: layers, channels, paths, guides, selections, and text layers. It allows users to save their work-in-process and resume editing later non-destructively.
The format is a container for a hierarchy of image structures. Since GIMP 2.10 (2018), XCF supports high bit depth (up to 32-bit floating point) and zlib compression. Older versions were 8-bit only. Note that ImageMagick's support for XCF is often limited to flattening the image or extracting the composite preview.
Named after the XCF student group at UC Berkeley where GIMP was originally written.
Portable Pixel Map
The standard uncompressed color format of the Netpbm suite.
PPM (Portable Pixel Map) is the color counterpart to PGM and PBM. It is the most widely used format in the Netpbm library for storing full-color RGB images. Like its siblings, it is designed for extreme simplicity and ease of interchange between Unix tools.
PPM files come in two flavors: P3 (ASCII) and P6 (Binary). - **ASCII (P3)**: Pixels are written as readable RGB triplets (e.g., `255 0 0` for red). - **Binary (P6)**: Pixels are raw byte triplets. The header is minimal: Magic Number, Width, Height, Maxval. It does not support alpha channels (use PAM for that) or compression.
Developed by Jef Poskanzer in 1991 to bring color support to the pbmplus (Netpbm) toolkit. It became the lingua franca for Unix graphics utilities.
