Questions & Answers
PRF files: Frequently Asked Questions
What are PRF files?
PRF (PHOTOMOD Raster File, also called MegaTIFF) is a multi-file raster in which an XML header points to a folder with the pieces of a large image. The header file with the .prf extension describes the image, and next to it is a folder named after the image, which holds the fragments as TIFF or JPEG 2000 files and an overview image. Each fragment is kept below a chosen size, for example 1 GB, which lets the format hold images larger than 4 GB while every piece remains an ordinary file. The format has two variants: .prf for imagery and .x-dem for elevation data, in which the fragments use the .demtif extension. Pixels may be bytes, 16-bit or 32-bit integers, or 32-bit or 64-bit floating-point numbers. The files can be georeferenced, but the projection is kept in an external .prj file, so it must travel with the rest. To convert a PRF image to graphics, a program reads the header, locates the fragments, and assembles them into one picture, or uses the overview to make a quick small version. Higher bit depths are stretched to 8 bits for PNG or JPEG, while TIFF and GeoTIFF can keep more detail and the coordinates. Supported by PHOTOMOD and OpenOrienteering Mapper.
