Page 266: Supported Image Types
Things to Mastering More Advanced Appendices Remember the Basics Techniques Supported Image Types The following is a list of image types supported by ZoomBrowser EX. JPEG (.JPG) Most cameras use this image type. It compresses at very high ratios, taking advantage of the characteristics of the human eye. However, because it is an irreversible compression method (part of the data is lost during compression), if you process and save an image repeatedly using this method, the image may become rougher. RAW (.CRW/.CR2) This is a proprietary image type provided by Canon. It saves the output of the image pixels from a digital camera without any deterioration in the quality of the image. Some cameras might not support this image type. Windows bitmap (.BMP) This image type comes standard with Windows. Most Windows programs support it. TIFF (.TIF) This is a relatively popular image type. It is widely supported by non-Windows programs (such as Macintosh). PhotoCD (.PCD) This is the image type used for Photo CDs. AVI (.AVI) Standard Windows movie type. The movie thumbnail and a movie icon show in ZoomBrowser EX’s Browser Area. MOV (.MOV) Movie type.
