The CUT file extension stands for Dr. Halo Bitmap Image. Originally developed by Media Cybernetics for the Dr. Halo software, it is a device-independent bitmap image format that supports 8 bits per pixel, allowing for a total of 256 colors. CUT files are used for storing small bitmap images and require a separate PAL file to define colors. Without this palette file, the images display as grayscale. Over time, support for CUT files has expanded to various other applications.
The CALS (Continuous Acquisition and Life-cycle Support) Type 1 Image file format, developed by the United States Department of Defense in the mid-1980s, is a standard for storing raster (bit-mapped) image data, typically black-and-white. It ensures efficient data interchange and retention of orientation metadata. The format supports both uncompressed and compressed (using CCITT Group 4 compression) images. This standard was part of the broader CALS initiative aimed at improving electronic publishing and data management within the federal government.
