IRIS to PGM Conversion: FAQ
What are IRIS files?
IRIS is an obsolete file format associated with workstations built by Silicon Graphics in the 1980s. Other similar formats, also known as RGB image formats, are SGI, RGB or RGBA. Unlike these extensions, IRIS is currently considered rare and might be difficult to open. For best results, we recommend converting it to a more accessible format.
What are PGM files?
The PGM or Portable Graymap format is part of a package of open source graphics programs called Netpbm. Other Netpbm formats include PPM (Portable Pixmap) and PBM (Portable Bitmap), also known under the collective name of PNM (Portable Anymap). A PGM file includes a grayscale image, can work on a UNIX platform, as well as on Windows or Mac OS X, and can render a scope of up to 255 grayscale colors.
