About the RLA format
RLA — Alias/Wavefront RLA Image
RLA is a multi-channel image format developed by Alias Research (later Alias|Wavefront, now Autodesk) for 3D rendering and compositing. It stores standard color channels alongside auxiliary channels such as depth (Z), object ID, and normal vectors, enabling sophisticated compositing workflows.
Common uses
- 3D rendering compositing with depth and ID channels
- VFX multi-pass rendering output
- Converting legacy Alias/Maya render output
- 3D studio animation frame storage
About the G4 format
G4 — CCITT Group 4 FAX
G4 is the more advanced monochrome fax compression format defined by ITU-T for Group 4 fax machines and TIFF storage. Using Modified Modified READ (MMR) compression, it achieves significantly better compression than G3 and is the standard for TIFF-based document archiving.
Common uses
- High-compression document fax archiving
- TIFF G4 document scanning for records management
- Legal and government document storage
- Converting G4 fax archives to PDF
