Utah Raster Toolkit RLE Image

Quick Info

Utah Raster Toolkit is a public domain library for manipulating images. Its native file format is the Utah RLE (=Run Length Encoded) format. It can store images with any number of color channels and bits per channel (however, the implementation is restricted to 8 bits per channel).

Since the Utah Raster Toolkit is a UNIX library, the format is rarely supported on the ordinary PC, so you should convert these images to another format.
