What is a .1ph file?

A .1ph file is a proprietary format used by Pico-System's 1-Photo software. It's designed to store and organize digital photos within a digital album structure. This format allows users to create photo collections, add captions, and manage their images in a more structured way than simple image folders. While it bundles images, it's not primarily an archive format but rather a presentation and management container for photographic content.
