Convert ICB to MONO

The ICB file extension, associated with Targa Graphics, stands for Image Capture Board. It was originally used with the AT&T EPICenter Image Capture Board video card and software like ICB-PAINT and TARGA-PAINT. This format is a raster graphics file used for storing and exchanging deep-pixel images, supporting 8, 16, 24, and 32 bits per pixel. Developed by Truevision Inc., it played a significant role in early computer graphics for high-color display on IBM-compatible PCs.

The MONO file extension stands for "Monochrome Bitmap" and is used for storing raw bi-level bitmap images, which are essentially black-and-white images without any color or grayscale. This format is primarily utilized in applications requiring simple, high-contrast images, such as fax transmissions and certain types of document scanning. The MONO format, characterized by its least-significant-byte first order, has been supported by various image processing tools. Its history traces back to early bitmap graphics needs, emphasizing simplicity and efficiency in image storage and processing.
