What is CIT file?
The CIT file extension is a raster image format, developed by Intergraph. The CIT format is often used for storing data in medical imaging, such as CT and MRI scans. It is a bitmap image format, optimized for handling grayscale values with precision. The data structure of a CIT file allows it to store 8-bit images of any size or length, making it suitable for high-resolution images. [ ⏩ ] CIT file extension
What is TIFF file?
The .TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) file extension is a bitmapped graphics file format commonly used in desktop publishing. It supports lossless compression, which means images in TIFF format retain all original details and colors after compression. History The TIFF file extension was created in the mid-80s by Aldus, now a division of Adobe Systems, and Microsoft. [ ⏩ ] TIFF file extension
How to convert the file from CIT to TIFF?
To successfully convert the CIT file to TIFF, you should install one of the applications from the list. After installing the software, open the program and select the file you want to convert (file-name.CIT). The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case TIFF (usually converters allow you to convert to several different formats, so check out their features - maybe one of the available formats will suit you more than TIFF).
What is a file conversion?
A data conversion is normally an automated process to some extent. The effect of the operation of one program is automatically the input product of another application. If that does not happen we need to help the process a little bit and convert the file on our own, e.g. CIT to TIFF. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.
Program for converting CIT files to TIFF files is a kind of a "binary code translator" compensating for the differences in the code or translating it in such a way so that another application could use it. For us, as users, the visible change will be only another file extension. (After converting the file, it will be the extension TIFF, while before this step we had the CIT file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new TIFF file, or not.
