About the SUN format
SUN — Sun Microsystems Rasterfile
SUN (also known as RAS) is the native raster image format of Sun Microsystems' SunOS and Solaris operating systems. It was the standard format for screenshots, icons, and general graphics on Sun workstations from the 1980s through the 2000s.
Common uses
- Legacy Sun Microsystems/Solaris graphics
- Converting old Unix workstation images
- Historical software documentation screenshots
- Archival recovery of Solaris-era media
About the PFM format
PFM — Portable Float Map
PFM is an extension of the Netpbm format that stores floating-point pixel values instead of integers. This makes it ideal for high dynamic range (HDR) image storage, scientific imaging, and rendering output where pixel values can exceed the 0–1 range.
Common uses
- HDR image storage and processing
- Computer graphics rendering output
- Scientific image data with floating-point values
- Tone mapping pipeline input/output
