PEF files follow the TIFF standard. istD files are uncompressed, one-channel 16 bit tiffs. Most applications won't read them as such, though. But any programmer with a library for readin tiffs could be able to put together a converter from other formats into PEF with little effort.
So, it would be relatively easy to make "fake" PEF files from rgb images. j On 11/13/05, Derby Chang <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > My best friend is in the midst of rearranging her home and contents > insurance.
