RP to FITS Conversion: FAQ
What are RP files?
RP is an image format associated with Rainbow Painter, an image processor first released in the early 1990s. The program included a variety of features for image editing and capturing screenshots, and had several upgraded releases in the following years, designed for both Mac OS and Windows platforms. Rainbow Painter has now been discontinued for a few years, so the RP format is considered obsolete and uncommon.
What are FITS files?
The FITS (Flexible Image Transport System) format is a standard format used particularly for storing, transferring and processing scientific images from fields such as astronomy. FITS was first launched as an open standard in the early 1980s and has gone through several subsequent upgrades. FITS files contain not just images, but also data related to photometry and spatial calibration, and information about the origin of the image. Similar formats include FIT and FTS.
