What is an IMAGE003 file?

IMAGE003 files mostly belong to Adobe Photoshop. The .IMAGE003 file extension typically represents a portion of a larger image file, often a Windows Enhanced Metafile (EMF) image. These files are commonly associated with Adobe Photoshop when processing or saving large EMF files, which get split into segments like .IMAGE003, .IMAGE004, and so on. The .IMAGE003 file itself doesn't contain the complete image data but rather a fragment of the whole. It relies on the other parts to reconstruct the full image. While less common, .IMAGE003 might also be encountered in other contexts involving split image data, though the EMF format remains the primary association.
