GIMP Pattern at a glance
GIMP Pattern
GIMP's pattern support reflects the older desktop-graphics tradition of shipping reusable brushes, patterns, gradients, and palettes as first-class editing assets.
JPS at a glance
JPS
JPS belongs to the period when consumer 3D displays, cameras, and media players experimented with stereo-photo conventions built on ordinary JPEG assets instead of inventing entirely new everyday imaging stacks.
