What a format does contain?
Information about: Resolution (vertical and horizontal) Colour depth Compression … a lot of other data to enable the correct
display or printing (ICC profiles, e.g.)
Some formats offer only selected opportunities.

Types of image formats
ISO initiatives (TIFF; JPEG, JBIG, /MPEG/)
De facto standards (PNG) Very proprietary formats (PSP, PSD,
ZMF, … - internal formats of graphical tools)

TIFF – Tagged Image File Format
ISO definition A container that can incorporate so
many parameters This may cause various problems with
reading or writing TIFF

TIFF and write/read problems
Black and White (1bit, 2 colours) Huffman RLE encoding CCITT Fax Group 3 CCITT Fax Group 4 (TIFF 4)
Colour (up to 24 bits, true colour) no compression LZW (TIFF 5) Mackintosh Packbits JPEG (TIFF 6) PNG

TIFF Fax Group 4
TIFF can also contain more images (multipage TIFF, gr. 6) in one.

BMPMicrosoft Windows Bitmap
It supports 16,7 million colours, frequently only with 256 colours
It supports RLE compression Fast reading as any other
uncompressed bitmap

Web image formats
There are 3 formats recommended by the WWW consortium for web:
GIF JPEG
PNG (latest recommendation) … and also SVG

GIFGraphic Interchange Format
256 colours - palette format each GIF has its own palette this is difficult to combine LZW compression scheme highly used on the web several modifications in the WWW environment used frequently as
the so-called transparent, interlaced, or animated GIF

Palettes of GIF images

Transparent GIF
One colour in the 256-colour palette can be indicated as transparent

Animated and Interlaced GIF
Animated GIF on web pages Interlaced GIF as many other formats
can appear successively step by step

JPEGJoint Photographic Expert Group
True colour, 24 bit Lossless or lossy compression: the
compression ratio must be tuned individually (software dependent)
Possibly progressive encoding (not recommended - read problems possible)
irreplaceable for compression of photorealistic images
![Page 17: Image formats Characteristics © Adolf Knoll, National Library of the Czech Republic.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062409/5697bf751a28abf838c807c1/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
PNGPortable Networks Graphic
True colour format; allows up to 48 bit encoding
PNG compression: lossless, 9 degrees Slightly more economic compression
than GIF, but more colours transparency (alpha-channel) possible,
interlaced character possible

WWW and images
3 formats are recommended by the WWW consortium:
GIF, JPEG, PNG (recently)
Other formats possible, but they require special components to be installed into web browsers (ActiveX, plug-ins).
