OpenRaster ( file extension * .ora) is a file format that was developed for the exchange of raster graphics (also known as pixel graphics) with layer support . OpenRaster is the standard format of the digital painting program MyPaint .
OpenRaster is still under development and is planned as an open competitor to the psd format. It consists of a packed archive of image files of the levels, as well as descriptive parts (e.g. the description of the layer stack in XML ) and preview images .
history

Developers of free graphics software met there and discussed this free format based on the OpenDocument format for the first time. With version 0.7.0, the programmers of MyPaint adapted the new format 2009 as the standard format for storing the images.
