FAQ
STI to MIF Conversion
What are STI files?
STI is a format associated with shooting in RAW mode with Sinar cameras, and has a similar function to the CS1 format. Well-known among photography aficionados, the Sinar brand was founded in the 1940s in Switzerland and has ever since produced several models of large and medium sized cameras. Most of these cameras are conceived as integrated systems and include parts that can be changed between different models. Shooting STI images with a Sinar camera results in creating RAW images that can be processed with a specialized editing software so as to create high quality images, which are more suitable for print than other compressed formats, such as JPEG.
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.
