File types

 

BMP

the bitmap image file type is used in Windows. This file type can be opened in

 

the paint software installed in the Windows operating system. The file size is

 

fixed allowing the retention of the original image quality.

JPEG

the image file can be compressed to reduce the file size. The compression ratio

 

can be selected when saving. The higher the compression ratio, the the smaller

 

the file size, and the more deterioration to the image quality.

TIFF

this high-resolution bitmap can be opened on any computer platform. The color

 

depth of this format can be selected in the preference dialog box (p. 45).

PICT

this image file type is used in Macintosh. This file can be opened in the Simple
