STiNG
From Just Solve the File Format Problem
The STiNG file format was developed by Iterated Systems to provide resolution-on-demand images. Image resolution can be specified at the time of output. A still image format which combines fractal encoding with wavelet compression.[1][2][3][4] Purchased by OnOne Software in 2005.[5]
File Information
The STN file format is based on patented STiNG technology and has the extension “.stn”. The STN format provides lossless encoding at about 2:1 (and up to 10:1) file size reduction or visually lossless encoding at typical 5:1 (and up to 30:1) or more file size reduction. The STN format also gives you the ability to crop and scale an image for multiple purposes.
