Portable Pixmap

PPM, which stands for Portable Pixmap, is a straightforward image storage format. It supports three types of images: color (PPM), grayscale (PGM), and black and white (PBM). These formats are particularly useful as an intermediary representation during the conversion of raster image files between different platforms. The development of the PPM format is credited to Jeff Poskanzer.

Microsoft DirectDraw Surface

The DDS format, integral in OpenGL and DirectX development environments, is crucial for storing bitmap images of UI environments and textures. Leveraged for game model texturing and archiving textural arrays, it's instrumental in game and 3D software creation. It accommodates both compressed and uncompressed data, offering flexibility based on application requirements. Crucially, DDS' 'on the fly' texture block compression enhances next-gen console game development, improving application performance significantly.
