Pentax Electronic File (.pef)

The PEF (Pentax Electronic File) is a raw image file format used by Pentax digital cameras. It contains unprocessed data directly from the camera's image sensor, allowing for greater post-processing flexibility and higher-quality images. Introduced by Pentax, this format retains more image information compared to compressed formats like JPEG, making it popular among professional photographers. PEF files can be opened and edited with various software, including Adobe Photoshop and Pentax's own Digital Camera Utility.

DirectDraw Surface (.dds)

The DirectDraw Surface (DDS) file extension is used primarily for storing graphical textures and cubic environment maps in the field of computer technology. Introduced by Microsoft with DirectX 7.0, DDS files facilitate efficient loading and storage of texture data, crucial for rendering 3D graphics in real-time applications like video games and simulation software. These files support both uncompressed and compressed formats, leveraging S3 Texture Compression (S3TC) to optimize memory usage and performance. DDS files are indispensable in modern graphics programming, enabling quick texture manipulation and robust graphical asset management.
