| 3ds Max Rich Pixel Format | N/A | Raster Image Files |
The RPF file extension belongs to the Rich Pixel Format, a vector-based raster file format. This file format was developed by Intergraph Corporation and is typically used for the storage of bitmapped images. The visual content of the files is represented by a raster map with a variable level of compression and pixel bit depth. Images stored in this format can include features such as transparency, anti-aliasing, interlacing, text-based meta data properties, and are capable of preserving various levels of color depth.
Usage
RPF files are used in a variety of digital imaging applications such as photo editing, desktop publishing, and vector graphic software. This file type is also used for rendering large area terrain data, such as that used in AutoCAD, by providing an efficient way to store detailed areas with raw terrain information as a set of well compressed image tiles. RPF's support for a variety of features has made it popular among developers working with mapping imagery and satellite images, and it is also widely supported in web applications such as Google Maps.
Similar File Formats
The RPF file format is similar to other bitmap formats such as .BMP, .TIF, .JPEG, .GIF, and .PNG. Despite their similarities, the RPF format offers several advantages over other lossy formats such as JPEG due to its ability to preserve more color depth information when saving images with compression. While other formats trade off quality for compression ratio, the RPF format allows users to adjust the balance between quality and size.
Programs for WINDOWS system
Programs for MAC system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .RPF) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .RPF extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .RPF file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .RPF extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .RPF extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .RPF file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .RPF file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .RPF file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .RPF file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .RPF file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
