Radiance Scene Description (.rad)

The RAD file extension, associated with the Radiance software suite, stands for Radiance Scene Description. It is used to describe materials and geometry for lighting simulations and rendering programs. Developed by Greg Ward at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Radiance employs ray tracing and an octree data structure for accurate lighting calculations. RAD files are ASCII text files that must be compiled into an octree before rendering.

Pyramid Encoded TIFF (.ptif)

The PTIF (Pyramid Encoded TIFF) file format, developed by Image Magick, is a specialized variant of the TIFF image format designed to store multiple resolutions of the same image within a single file. This enables efficient zooming and panning in applications without losing image quality. PTIF files are commonly used in geospatial imaging, remote sensing, and medical imaging due to their ability to handle large, high-resolution images efficiently. The format was introduced to address the need for handling large image datasets more effectively in these fields.
