FAQ
CT1 to DDS Conversion
What are CT1 files?
CT1 is a raster image file extension used for CALS Type 1 files, defined by the U.S. Department of Defense Computer-aided Acquisition and Logistic Support (CALS) initiative in the MIL-R-28002 specification, and later incorporated into MIL-STD-1840 for the exchange of technical documentation. A file of this type contains a single black-and-white page, stored as a bilevel image compressed with the CCITT Group 4 (ITU-T T.6) method, which made it well suited to scanned engineering drawings, manuals, and archival paper documents. The page is preceded by a fixed-length text header that identifies the source document, the figure, the document class, the pixel dimensions, the page orientation, and the scanning density. The format supports no color or grayscale, and remains in use in legacy technical document archives.
What are DDS files?
DDS (DirectDraw Surface) is an image file format that usually contains texture data, cubic environment maps or other type of data compressed using the S3TC (S3 Texture Compression) algorithm. The DDS format was first associated with Microsoft's DirectX 7.0 and later on with DirectDraw, a tool for accelerating the rendering of graphics in various applications. DDS is a container file and can be decompressed using a graphics processing unit (GPU).
