File Format Explaination (from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)
· EXIF
Exchangeable image file format is a specification for the image file format used by digital cameras. The specification uses the existing JPEG, TIFF Rev. 6.0, and RIFF WAVE file formats, with the addition of specific metadata tags.
· IPTC
The International Press Telecommunications Council, based in Windsor, United Kingdom, is a consortium of the world's major news agencies and news industry vendors. It develops and maintains technical standards for improved news exchange that are used by virtually every major news organization in the world.
· JPEG
Joint Photographic Experts Group.
File extension: .jpeg, .jpg, .jpe
A photo of a flower compressed with successively more lossy compression ratios from left to right.
· BMP
Windows Bitmap Image
File extension: .bmp or .dib
The BMP file format, sometimes called bitmap or DIB file format (for device-independent bitmap), is an image file format used to store bitmap digital images, especially on Microsoft Windows and OS/2 operating systems.
· PNG
Portable Network Graphics
File extension: .png
A bitmapped image format that employs lossless data compression. PNG was created to improve upon and replace the GIF format, as an image-file format not requiring a patent license.
· GIF
Graphics Interchange Format
File extension: .gif
The format uses a palette of up to 256 distinct colors from the 24-bit RGB color space. It also supports animations and allows a separate palette of 256 colors for each frame. The color limitation makes the GIF format unsuitable for reproducing color photographs and other images with continuous color, but it is well-suited for more simple images such as graphics or logos with solid areas of color.
· TGA
Truevision Graphics Adapter
File extension: .tga
It is used widely in paint, graphics, and imaging applications that require the storage of image data containing up to 32 bits per pixel. TGA is associated with the Truevision product line of Targa, Vista, NuVista, and Targa 2000 graphics adapters for the PC and Macintosh, all of which can capture NTSC and/or PAL video image signals and store them in a digital frame buffer. For this reason, TGA has also become popular in the world of still-video editing.
