XCF at a glance

XCF

XCF reflects the long history of GIMP as an open-source raster editor with its own native document model rather than as a lightweight clone of consumer image viewers.

DTS Audio at a glance

DTS Audio

DTS belongs to the same home-cinema and optical-disc era that made branded surround formats part of the consumer media experience rather than purely studio technology.
