ADEX IMG

Latest revision as of 17:47, 25 January 2022

ADEX .IMG is a raster graphics format associated with ChromaGraph graphics cards by ADEX Corporation.

The third-party Image Alchemy software supports the format at least as far back as v1.5.1, so the format dates to 1991 or earlier.

Ed. note: Almost all the information in this article comes from non-authoritative sources, mainly Image Alchemy.
