A .xcf extension file is a Raster image file format that is used by the GNU Image Manipulation Program. It is a freeware image editing software application that has features similar to Adobe Photoshop. These features include the easy selection of layers, channels, transparencies, paths and guides. It facilitates saving of the edited versions of the images and storing the current position at the time of saving, layers, channels, paths and other items used at the time of editing the image. The image data is saved in the file by compressing it with the use of a simple RLE algorithm, and all those settings can be accessed again to edit the image when the XCF file is opened in a compatible image editor.
A .hdr extension file is a High Dynamic Range image format that is also known as HDRI or a Radiance HDR format. A raster image or a digital photo with dark shadows or washed out areas can be rectified using HDRsoft to enhance the color and improve the brightness level. The Multiple pictures having different exposures can also be combined to create one image with an even distribution of color with the HDR software. As compared to standard digital imaging or photographic techniques, HDR imaging uses a high technology to improve the picture quality of an image by increasing its clarity, brightness and luminosity.

The XCF format is both backwards and forward compatible which means that files created in a new version can be opened in all older versions of GIMP and vice versa. Generally, an XCF file describes a stack of layers and channels on a canvas that is just an abstract rectangular viewport for the layers and channels.
A .hdr extension file has three section which are the header, a resolution string and the pixel data. The header starts with an identifier that the file is an image file and is followed by lines that provide information regarding the assignments and the series of programs and commands used to generate the image.
