PPSM at a glance

PPSM

PPSM was introduced in the Office XML era to preserve slideshow-first behavior with macro support.

DRF at a glance

DRF

Digital photography fragmented into many manufacturer-specific raw formats because camera makers optimized for their own sensors, metadata, and software ecosystems rather than for one shared public raw standard.
