GFF to CIN Conversion
What are GFF files?
GFF (GSAT File Format) is a raster image format developed by Sandia National Laboratories in the United States to store images and image products from its synthetic aperture radar (SAR) systems. The name comes from the Ground-based SAR Applications Testbed (GSAT), the program in which the format was created. A file of this type consists of a header of variable length, which records the configuration and performance parameters of the instrument and the image, followed by a matrix of pixel data. The format was designed to allow custom annotation of radar images, and it has gone through several revisions as Sandia's radar programs developed. It remains the main image format of the laboratory, which keeps a large library of SAR images in this form.
What are CIN files?
The CIN or Kodak Cineon format is a raster graphics format originally associated with the process of film editing and production using the Cineon System designed by Kodak, developed during the 1990s. Though later on Kodak stopped producing this system, the CIN format remained popular especially in the process of creating visual effects. The format's main advantage is its ability to offer a high-quality rendering of scanned film negatives, thus allowing their future editing.
