SUN to RGF conversion is the process of transforming an image stored in the SUN raster format (an older SunOS/Solaris raster image, typically using simple uncompressed or run-length encoded pixel data) into the RGF format (a raster graphics format that may support different compression and metadata options). This conversion re-encodes pixel data, color depth, and optional compression so the image can be opened and edited in software that supports RGF.
