.SCT Estensione file

An SCT file is a raster image saved in the Scitex Continuous Tone format. It contains a CMYK, RGB, or grayscale image. SCT files are uncompressed and typically contain images used by high-end graphics processors. As a result, they often have large file sizes.

You can open an SCT file with many image editors and viewers, including Adobe Photoshop (Windows, Mac), QuarkXPress (Windows, Mac), XnViewMP (multiplatform), and ImageMagick (multiplatform).

Most programs that can open SCT files, such as Adobe Photoshop (Windows, Mac), ImageMagick (multiplatform), or XnViewMP (multiplatform), can convert them to other image formats. For example, XnViewMP to convert SCT files to the following formats (and many others):

• .JPG - JPEG Image
• .GIF - Graphical Interchange Format
• .PNG - Portable Network Graphic
• .TIFF - Tagged Image File Format
• .BMP - Bitmap Image
• .PCX - Paintbrush Bitmap Image
• .TGA - Targa Graphic
• .JP2 - JPEG 2000 Core Image
• .JXR - JPEG XR Image
• .WEBP - WebP Image

An SCT file contains a memo for an .SCX database form created by Microsoft Visual FoxPro, a discontinued database management system. It stores textual notes about a corresponding form that provide context, instructions, or details, which is helpful for users working with the form. Examples of information in an SCT file include descriptions of form elements, usage guidelines, and comments on how the form should be managed.

Developers and administrators of Visual FoxPro databases typically link SCT memos to SCX forms to ensure that any specific information required to use or modify the form is easily accessible. You will often find SCT files and their accompanying SCX files in the same directory.

NOTA: The last version of Visual FoxPro was 9.0, which Microsoft published in 2007.

You can open SCT files with the discontinued Microsoft Visual FoxPro in Windows. Since SCT files contain plain text, you can also open them with a text editor to view or modify their contents.
