CRG to DDS Conversion: FAQ
What are CRG files?
The CRG format is associated with Calamus SL, an incipient desktop publishing software program released in the 1980s for the Atari ST, a then popular brand of home computers. Compared to previous programs with similar functions, the Calamus SL included innovative features for handling vector files, such as virtual objects, non-destructive vector masks and PDF import. Calamus was also the first DTP program to feature proprietary image formats, such as CPI and CRG. The program continues to be supported by the current owner, the German developer Invers Software.
What are DDS files?
DDS (DirectDraw Surface) is an image file format that usually contains texture data, cubic environment maps or other type of data compressed using the S3TC (S3 Texture Compression) algorithm. The DDS format was first associated with Microsoft's DirectX 7.0 and later on with DirectDraw, a tool for accelerating the rendering of graphics in various applications. DDS is a container file and can be decompressed using a graphics processing unit (GPU).
