FAQ
SCT to SHP Conversion
What are SCT files?
The SCT or Scitex Continuous Tone (CT) format is associated with bitmap images created or edited on equipment produced by Scitex. The latter was an Israeli brand launched in the 1960s, serving the high-end printing and publishing industry. SCT files include grayscale or coloured images and tend to be very large and difficult to transfer and store.
What are SHP files?
The SHP (Shapefile) format stores vector files compatible with various Geographical Information System (GIS) software. SHP was developed by the Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI), an American provider of GIS software and geodatabase management solutions, with the aim of improving interoperability between GIS software produced by ESRI and other developers. An SHP file usually contains vectorial descriptions of geospatial data (e.g. rivers, lakes), including specific attributes.
