Convert SCT to MONO

The Scitex Continuous Tone (SCT) file format, developed by Scitex, is used for high-end image processing and supports CMYK, RGB, and grayscale images. SCT files are uncompressed, ensuring high image quality, and are typically used with Scitex graphics processors and image editing software. This format was designed to maintain the integrity of large, detailed images used in professional graphics workflows.

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.
