FAQ
CAP to PPM Conversion
What are CAP files?
CAP is a scan file of a rough diamond made by Sarine Galaxy, a system that looks inside a rough diamond and maps the flaws that are hidden in it, the inclusions, without cutting any windows into the stone. The file holds the images and the data of the scan, from which the three-dimensional model of the stone is built, with the inclusions shown in their places. It is opened in Sarine Advisor, the planning software, where the manufacturer decides how to cut the stone. Sarine is an Israeli company that makes diamond scanning and planning systems.
What are PPM files?
PPM or Portable Pixelmap files are image files included in Netpbm, an open source graphics program. The other widely used Netpbm formats are PGM (Portable Graymap) and PBM (Portable Bitmap). All three are image formats and are sometimes called collectively PNMs (Portable Anymap format). While PGMs contains grayscale images, PPMs include color images and they represent intermediary files used in the conversion of less known formats using the Portable Bitmap Utilities. PPM files are mostly operated on UNIX and Intel-based platforms.
