    SGI (Silicon Graphics Image), also known as RGB, is an image format developed by Silicon Graphics, Inc. for their workstations and the IRIX operating system. It was widely used in professional 3D graphics, visual effects, and scientific visualization.

    The format supports various pixel depths including 8-bit (indexed color), 16-bit, and 32-bit per channel, with options for RGB, RGBA, grayscale, and other color models. It can use RLE (Run-Length Encoding) compression.

    How to open SGI?

    SGI files can be opened with professional graphics software such as Adobe Photoshop, GIMP, and specialized tools like ImageMagick and GraphicsMagick.

    3D and VFX applications including Blender, Autodesk Maya, and many rendering applications support the SGI format due to its historical importance in professional graphics workflows.

    SGI in Graphics History

    The SGI format played a significant role in the development of digital visual effects and 3D animation, being widely used in studios that pioneered CGI for films and television in the 1990s.

    SGI workstations and their native image format were instrumental in creating groundbreaking visual effects for films like 'Jurassic Park,' 'Terminator 2,' and early Pixar productions.

    PS (PostScript) is a page description language developed by Adobe that describes the appearance of text, graphics, and images on a printed page. It was revolutionary in desktop publishing and printing industries.

    Unlike EPS, which is a single graphic, PS files can contain multiple pages and are primarily used for printing documents rather than for embedding graphics into other documents.

    How to open PS?

    PS files can be viewed and printed using software like Adobe Acrobat Distiller, Ghostscript with GSview, or PostScript viewers.

    For macOS users, Preview can open many PostScript files, rendering them for on-screen viewing.
