HSI Raw

HSI Raw is a simple raster image format associated with the Image Alchemy software from Handmade Software. There are several versions of the format. Images are usually uncompressed, and either 8-bit palette color, or 24-bit truecolor. Other image types, and PackBits compression, are possible, but are not documented.

The Image Alchemy documentation states that "HSI Raw format was originally intended as an internal format to Image Alchemy."

HSI presumably stands for "Handmade Software Inc."
