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.
FFF at a glance
FFF
Hasselblad's workflow tooling treated raw capture and high-end processing as parts of one integrated medium-format imaging environment, which is why formats like FFF survive in specialist archives.
