==File Information==

The RIFF file format is the native format for the Painter software. Format is similar to the Photoshop PSD format and can contain all edits, layers and transparency<ref>http://product.corel.com/help/Painter/540235477/707000/EN/Doc/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context=Win&file=Choosing_a_file_format.html</ref>. Format was used by original Painter software in 1991 and is still in use today with Corel Painter 2020<ref>http://product.corel.com/help/Painter/540219480/Main/EN/User-Guide/Corel-Painter-2020.pdf#page=116</ref>.

* The RIFF raster image format is not to be confused with the [[RIFF|Resource Interchange File Format]] used by formats such as [[WAV]] for [[CorelDRAW]]<ref>https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corel_Painter#Dateiformate</ref>.
* The RIFF raster image format is also used for Painter Pattern and Nozzle image format<ref>https://ia801000.us.archive.org/view_archive.php?archive=/19/items/Painter_Classic_Z-PTC-C10-R-001_MetaCreations_1998/Painter%20Classic%20Z-PTC-C10-R-001%20MetaCreations%20%281998%29.iso&file=Documents%2FExchanging%20Files.pdf</ref>.

===File Identification===

.RIF files begin with the hex values {{magic|00 02 00 00}} or {{magic|00 02 20 00}}, then 4 bytes which seem to indicate pixel dimensions, then either <code>00 02 00 07</code> or <code>00 03 00 07</code> indicating compression. Also to note, starting at byte 64 for 256 bytes, every hex value is used in order from <code>00</code> to <code>FF</code>
