Convert PIX to PSB

The PIX file extension stands for Alias/Wavefront Run-Length Encoding (RLE) Image Format. Developed by Alias Systems Corporation (later acquired by Autodesk), it was designed for storing bitmap images in PowerAnimator and Alias 3D software. This format was instrumental in creating high-resolution 3D models and animations for movies and video games in the 1990s. The RLE compression minimized file size without compromising image quality, optimizing performance for graphics-heavy tasks. Although its usage has declined in favor of more versatile formats, PIX played a significant role in the evolution of computer graphics technology.

The PSB (Photoshop Large Document Format) file extension is utilized for handling exceptionally large images in Adobe Photoshop. Introduced to support projects exceeding the limitations of the traditional PSD format, PSB is optimized for files that surpass 30,000 by 30,000 pixels, accommodating up to 300,000 pixels in either dimension. This format is essential for professional photographers, graphic designers, and digital artists who work with high-resolution images, providing a robust solution for maintaining the integrity and quality of detailed visuals in complex projects. PSB's development has been integral to Adobe's efforts to enhance the capacity and efficiency of its image editing software, ensuring that professionals can work without restrictions on image size and complexity.
