FAQ
NTF to TGA Conversion
What are NTF files?
NTF is an extension used by two different geographic formats. The first is the National Imagery Transmission Format, a US and NATO standard for satellite and aerial images, in which a file can carry one or several pictures together with graphics, text, and detailed information about the sensor, the time, and the security classification. The second is the National Transfer Format of Great Britain, a British Standard from 1988 that is the usual format for digital map data of Ordnance Survey, the national mapping agency, such as contours, elevation models, road and river networks, and administrative boundaries. The two have nothing in common except the three letters, and the first bytes of the file show which one it is.
What are TGA files?
The TGA (Truevision Graphics Adapter) format, also known as Truevision TGA or TARGA, is a bitmap file containing raster graphics and was initially associated with TARGA and VISTA boards. TGA files can be used on DOS, Windows and Mac OS X platforms for storing and transferring deep-pixel images. They support a color range of up to 24 bits and an 8-bit alpha channel. TGA files are associated with graphic adapters that can capture NTSC and/or PAL video images signals, and they are particularly popular in the domain of still-video editing.
