RAST to BMP Conversion: FAQ
What are RAST files?
RAST is a Sun Raster image format developed for Sun UNIX platforms. These types of operating systems were launched by Sun Microsystems for use on both workstations and server computer systems. As opposed to RAS, which is also a Sun Raster format, RAST images are less compatible with image viewers outside the Sun UNIX platforms. They support various types of image colour depths, from monochrome to 32-bit TrueColor and are mostly designed for UNIX users.
What are BMP files?
The BMP or Bitmap file format is a popular raster graphic format, compatible with a wide array of image processing software, both on PC and Mac computers. BMP files store grids of pixels and detailed information concerning color tones and shades, and are highly appreciated for their ability to provide increased quality images. However, due to the lack of any compression algorithm in storing pixel data, BMP images can often be very large in size and thus difficult to store or transfer.
