Description

The EXR file format (OpenEXR) is an open source and free image file format developed by Industrial Light & Magic in 1999. The format was originally developed to be a multi channel, high-dynamic range raster image file format which has evolved to include additional features over the years.

The format stores binary image data that can be either 32-bit integer, 16-bit or 32-bit floating point which can also be compressed via a lossy or non-lossy compression method. The OpenEXR library is freely available to help developers implement the format within their applications.

Description

The DDS file format was introduced my Microsoft in 1999 intended to be its standard image format for the DirectX 7 3D graphics Api. The format is used to store textures for use within 3D graphics and game environments and can be compressed or uncompressed.

The compression algorithm used by DDS was the previously proprietary S3 Texture Compression which could reduce the image file size down and was easy for the GPU to decompress in real-time. The format is still used and there are some 3rd party image editors that are compatible with the format.
