Convert TGA to CAL

The Truevision Graphics Adapter (TGA) file extension, also known as TARGA (Truevision Advanced Raster Graphics Adapter), is a raster graphics file format. Introduced by Truevision Inc. in 1984, it was initially designed for their TARGA and VISTA graphic cards, which were among the first cards capable of displaying true color (24-bit) images. TGA files are widely used in various professional applications, including video editing, game development, and computer imaging, due to their ability to store high-quality graphics and support for features like alpha channels, gamma correction, and HDR imaging. TGA remains a popular choice for professionals in the industry.

The CAL file extension, known as CALS (Continuous Acquisition and Life-cycle Support) Type 1 Image, is a 1-bit black-and-white raster image format developed by the U.S. Department of Defense in the mid-1980s to standardize graphics data interchange for military documentation. It is primarily used for storing and sharing monochrome images while retaining orientation metadata. The format supports both uncompressed and compressed (using CCITT Group 4 compression) images.
