Convert DIB to ABR

Understanding DIB and ABR file formats

DIB (Device Independent Bitmap) is a raster image file format used to store bitmap graphics. It is similar to the BMP format but is not dependent on the display device, making it versatile for different platforms. DIB files are often used in Windows applications for storing images.

ABR is a file format used by Adobe Photoshop to store brush presets. These files contain information about the shape, texture, and dynamics of brushes, allowing users to create and apply custom brush effects in their digital artwork.
