FAQ
SCT to MIF Conversion
What are SCT files?
The SCT or Scitex Continuous Tone (CT) format is associated with bitmap images created or edited on equipment produced by Scitex. The latter was an Israeli brand launched in the 1960s, serving the high-end printing and publishing industry. SCT files include grayscale or coloured images and tend to be very large and difficult to transfer and store.
What are MIF files?
MIF is the file with the shapes in MapInfo's interchange format, which stores map data as a pair of text files. In the .mif file are the points, lines, and areas of a map layer, written as readable text with their coordinates, colors, and line styles, while the attributes of these objects, such as names and numbers, are kept in the partner .mid file. MapInfo is a desktop GIS program widely used in business, telecommunications, and local government, and the MIF and MID pair is its open way of passing data to and from other programs, since it can be read and edited in any text editor. A MIF file needs its MID file with the same name to be complete.
