For example, while Photoshop will support 8-bit and 16-bit TIFF images (and maybe 32-bit now?), I’ve used astronomical image processing applications that will support FITS data up to 64-bits per pixel (BPP), and maybe even higher! FITS can handle it because there is no real theoretical limit.
Another inquiry we ran across in our research was “Do I need Photoshop to read FITS files?”.
This is what we stumbled across. all stack programs can export to TIFF or PNG so the need for Photoshop to read FITS files only exists if you want to stack with Photoshop. More sharing options More sharing options.
TIFF format supports CMYK, RGB, Lab, Indexed Color, and Grayscale images with alpha channels and Bitmap mode images without alpha channels. Photoshop can save layers in a TIFF file; however, if you open the file in another application, only the flattened image is visible.
Can photoshop open gimp files?
The most recent stable version of GIMP 2.8 can open and export basic PSDs. However there isn’t full support and its highly unlikely that it will ever have full support, because PSD is a proprietary format developed by Adobe. For full support, you would need to use Photoshop.
Is GIMP compatible with photohop?
Although many people consider them as a competitor, they both have a compatibility. You are able to work with PSD files on GIMP. For a certain reason, you probably want to export an image you created with GIMP to the default format of Photohop, PSD. GIMP itself uses XCF as the default file format for its raw file.
If you want to convert an existing GIMP image (XCF) to PSD, you can first open it on GIMP. Once open, you can go to the File menu and select Export As. On the appearing pop-up dialog, click the Select File Type button and select Photoshop image. Give your file a new name if you want and click the Export button.
How do I choose a file format for Photoshop?
Choosing a file format. Graphics file formats differ in the way they represent image data (as pixels or vectors), and support different compression techniques and Photoshop features. To preserve all Photoshop features (layers, effects, masks, and so on), save a copy of your image in Photoshop format (PSD).
GIMP itself uses XCF as the default file format for its raw file. Just like PSD in Photoshop, XCF saves everything regarding your image like layers, transparency settings, paths and other information.
What is FITS Liberator Photoshop plug-in?
FITS Liberator is a Photoshop plug- in that makes it possible for Photoshop to open FITS files. Dr. Hurt nicely makes the analogy between FITS Liberator’s ability to open and perform basic processing on FITS (Flexible Image Transport System) files and how Camera RAW files are handled.
