SGIFormat is a software tool designed to read and write SGI (Irix) RGB image files. The software can handle 8 or 16 bits/channel and supports both RLE and uncompressed formats.
While Photoshop "Goodies" offer this format, it has been proven that this plugin has fewer software bugs, performs faster, and works with all versions of Photoshop available on all platforms. It is also very reliable in the face of damaged input files and can often recover an image despite corruption in RLE tables or image data. However, header corruption may sometimes prevent opening of the file.
The plugin has some prerequisites – it is recommended for use with Photoshop versions 3.0-7.0, CS2, and CS3. SGIFormat is a great solution for anyone looking for a more efficient way to work with SGI Irix image files on Photoshop.
