Convert SCT to PFM

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 Portable Floatmap (PFM) file format, also known as Portable FloatMap, is an image file format designed to store High Dynamic Range (HDR) images using floating-point values. Developed in the spirit of the Portable Pixmap format, PFM files contain image data with resolutions and byte order specified in the header. This format is particularly useful for applications requiring precise image data, such as computer graphics and image processing. PFM has been widely adopted in the IT industry for its ability to handle a wide range of pixel values beyond the standard 0-255 range, making it ideal for HDR imaging and other advanced visualizations.
