About the RGBA format
RGBA — Raw RGB with Alpha
RGBA is a raw pixel format that stores red, green, blue, and alpha (transparency) channel values sequentially without any file header or compression. It is used as an interchange format in image processing pipelines where simplicity and directness are more important than portability.
Common uses
- Raw image data interchange in processing pipelines
- OpenGL texture loading from raw pixel buffers
- Intermediate format in image conversion tools
- Scripting and programmatic image generation
About the XCF format
XCF — GIMP Image Format
XCF is the native file format of GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program), the leading open-source image editor. It stores all layers, channels, paths, guides, and filter settings in full fidelity, making it the open-source equivalent of Photoshop's PSD format.
Common uses
- GIMP image editing projects
- Open-source graphic design workflows
- Layered illustration and photo compositing
- Non-destructive editing with GIMP
