Convert ORA to VICAR

The ORA file extension stands for OpenRaster Image File, a format designed for the exchange of layered raster graphics between different software applications. Proposed in 2006 by developers from KDE and Krita, OpenRaster aims to provide an open alternative to proprietary formats like Adobe's PSD. The format encapsulates image layers, blending modes, and metadata within a ZIP archive containing XML and PNG files. Its primary use is to facilitate interoperability among various graphic editors, ensuring that complex image data can be shared and edited across different platforms.

The VICAR (Video Image Communication and Retrieval) file extension is a specialized raster image format developed by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in 1966 to manage and process imaging data from unmanned planetary missions. It supports multi-dimensional scientific data, including spectroscopic, hyperspectral, and radar imagery, making it suitable for space exploration, biomedical imaging, and geological studies. The format includes metadata for data integrity and usability, and the software system is now open-source.
