Open VDA File

VDA format files are raster image files formatted in the Targa Truevision format.

The VDA file stores the image data using 1 to 32 bits per pixel, with 24 bits possible for RGB data and 8 bits for the opacity channel.

The TARGA format was originally developed by Truevision, which was later acquired by Pinnacle Systems.
