Format Details
SGI
SGI (Silicon Graphics Image) is a raster image format developed by Silicon Graphics for use on their professional IRIX workstations. It supports multiple color channels, various bit depths, and optional RLE compression for efficient storage. SGI images were common in professional 3D animation and visual effects workflows throughout the 1990s and are still encountered in some specialized legacy creative pipelines.
BMP
BMP (Bitmap) is one of the oldest raster image formats, developed by Microsoft for the Windows operating system. It stores pixel data in an uncompressed or minimally compressed form, resulting in large file sizes but perfect lossless quality. BMP is widely supported across Windows applications and is commonly used as an intermediate format in image processing workflows.
