8.1. Formats overview
8.1.1. TIFF Format
TIFF pictures store a single raster image at any color depth. TIFF is arguably the most widely
supported graphic file format in the printing industry. It supports optional compression, and is
not suitable for viewing in Web browsers.
The TIFF format is an extensible format, which means that a programmer can modify the
original specification to add functionality or meet specific needs. This can lead to
incompatibilities between different types of TIFF pictures.
8.1.2. Bitmap Format
Windows bitmap files are stored in a device-independent bitmap (DIB) format that allows
Windows to display the bitmap on any type of display device. The term "device independent"
means that the bitmap specifies pixel color in a form independent of the method used by a
display to represent color. The default filename extension of a Windows DIB file is .BMP.
For further information, refer to the Microsoft™ documentation.
