An IIQ file represents a digital photo taken without any of the retouching and editing usually applied by default when shooting in other compressed formats, and needs to be processed with specialized image editing software before it can be visualized.
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.
