FlashPix A file format developed jointly by Kodak, Microsoft, Hewlett Packard, and
Live Picture Corporation. Currently developing as the international standard
for PC image files, it supports the following features not available with other
image file formats.
• All images are divided into 64x64-pixel tiles so that unnecessary data is not
processed during enlargement and movement. Each tile is compressed
with the JPEG format, this minimizing loss of image data.
• As each file contains multiple high-resolution files the image may be
automatically displayed at the optimum resolution.
• As the image is displayed at the optimum resolution, and only the image
data tiles for the displayed part of the image are processed, memory use
and processing power required for display are minimized, thus permitting
high-speed image display.
