  • Flash File Formats
    Columbia University School of the Arts Interactive Design 1 Prof. Marc Johnson Fall 2000 Flash File Import Formats Flash can recognize a variety of file formats when importing graphics. Native Format: Shockwave Flash (SWF) This format preserves all gradient and layer information. (If you have gradients in your file and cannot use SWF format, remove the gradients and re-create them within Flash.) Can be exported from Freehand, and also from Illustrator using Macromedia’s FlashWriter plug-in. Bitmap formats: GIF Also known as “Compuserve GIF” (Graphic Interchange Format), this is one of the standard formats used on the Web. All browsers understand GIF format without using a plug-in. All major bitmap graphics editing programs can export in GIF format. In general, GIF is a lossless format, preserving all data and compressing only sequences of identical pixels. Animated GIF A special form of GIF file in which multiple frames are contained in a single file. This file animates through its frames as soon as it is displayed in a browser. Most bitmap graphics editing programs can export in animated GIF format – GIF Builder, ImageReady and Fireworks are the most user-friendly for this. JPEG Joint Photographic Experts Group format. Developed to optimize the appearance of photographic or other continuous tone images with many colors. Far superior to GIF for such images. Offers a range of quality settings, with the highest quality making the largest files. Still, even medium-quality JPEGs are often significantly compressed in size without a dramatic loss in image quality. JPEG compression intelligently discards data, so it is considered a “lossy” format.

  • JPEG for Digital Panel on the TMS320C5000
    Application Report SPRA664 - May 2000 JPEG for Digital Panel Lim Hong Swee Digital Signal Processing Solutions ABSTRACT JPEG, an acronym for Joint Photographic Experts Group, is an ISO/CCITT-backed international standards group that defined an image-compression specification (also referred to as JPEG) for still images. The following are mandatory in JPEG specification: algorithms must operate at or near the state of the art in image-compression rates; algorithms must allow for software only implementations on a wide variety of computer systems; compression ratios need to be user variable; compressed images must be good to excellent in quality; compression must be generally applicable to all sorts of continuous-tone (photographic type) images and interoperability must exist between implementations from different vendors. JPEG is intended to be used in different applications, so few absolute requirements are written into the specification to cater to different implementation. In terms of interoperability, the JPEG specification was so vague that a group of vendors established the JPEG File Interchange Format (JFIF), a defacto file format for encapsulating JPEG compressed images so that files can be shared between applications from different manufacturers. It is also important to distinguish between JPEG’s image-processing algorithms, which comprise JPEG image compression, and the file format in which JPEG images are typically stored. In this application note, I will focus on JPEG algorithms, including discrete cosine transforms, quantization, and entropy encoding. I will also discuss how the JPEG header parser is implemented.

  • Making TIFF Files from Drawing, Word Processing, Powerpoint And
    Making TIFF and EPS files from Drawing, Word Processing, PowerPoint and Graphing Programs In the worlds of electronic publishing and video production programs, the need for TIFF or EPS formatted files is a necessity. Unfortunately, most of the imaging work done in research for presen- tation is done in PowerPoint, and this format simply cannot be used in most situations for these three ends. Files can be generally be saved or exported (by using either Save As or Export under File) into TIFF, PICT or JPEG files from PowerPoint, drawing, word processing and graphing programs—all called vector programs—but the results are often poor in resolution (in Photoshop these are shown as having a resolution of 72dpi when opening the Image Size dialogue box: under Image on the menu select Image Size). Here are four ways to save as TIFF (generally the way in which image files are saved) or EPS (gen- erally the way in which files are saved which contain lines or text): Option 1. Use the Program’s Save As or Export option. If it exists, use the Export or Save As option in your vector program. This only works well when a dialogue box appears so that specific values for height, width and resolution can be typed in (as in the programs Canvas and CorelDraw). Anti-aliasing should be checked. Resolution values of 300 dots per inch or pixels per inch is for images, 600 dpi is for images with text and 1200 dpi is for text, graphs and drawings. If no dialogue box exists to type in these values, go to option 2 - 4.

  • Image Formats
    Image Formats Ioannis Rekleitis Many different file formats • JPEG/JFIF • Exif • JPEG 2000 • BMP • GIF • WebP • PNG • HDR raster formats • TIFF • HEIF • PPM, PGM, PBM, • BAT and PNM • BPG CSCE 590: Introduction to Image Processing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_file_formats 2 Many different file formats • JPEG/JFIF (Joint Photographic Experts Group) is a lossy compression method; JPEG- compressed images are usually stored in the JFIF (JPEG File Interchange Format) >ile format. The JPEG/JFIF >ilename extension is JPG or JPEG. Nearly every digital camera can save images in the JPEG/JFIF format, which supports eight-bit grayscale images and 24-bit color images (eight bits each for red, green, and blue). JPEG applies lossy compression to images, which can result in a signi>icant reduction of the >ile size. Applications can determine the degree of compression to apply, and the amount of compression affects the visual quality of the result. When not too great, the compression does not noticeably affect or detract from the image's quality, but JPEG iles suffer generational degradation when repeatedly edited and saved. (JPEG also provides lossless image storage, but the lossless version is not widely supported.) • JPEG 2000 is a compression standard enabling both lossless and lossy storage. The compression methods used are different from the ones in standard JFIF/JPEG; they improve quality and compression ratios, but also require more computational power to process. JPEG 2000 also adds features that are missing in JPEG. It is not nearly as common as JPEG, but it is used currently in professional movie editing and distribution (some digital cinemas, for example, use JPEG 2000 for individual movie frames).

  • About Graphics/Digital Images
    About Graphics/Digital Images Digital images are found in lots of file formats (types) that are used for various reasons. I liken the file formats to flavors of ice-cream, which you might or might not choose to consume on any given day. One day chocolate is more important than mint; another day you might use vanilla, and on another day you might decide to combine more than one flavor in the same bowl. Likewise, you might choose one type of graphic file for a particular project, but it might be completely inappropriate for another project. What works well for display purposes (keeping it on the computer, or for publication to the internet) might not print well. Something that prints well might be too big a file to post to the internet, or may make your program run too slowly. Also, some authoring programs (like Boardmaker or Classroom Suite) might be written to only understand certain types of image files. Some file types are more common than others, and are more likely to be recognized by the “parent” program (the one you use to display, edit or print your image). Whatever type you pick ultimately depends on how you plan to use the image. The more technical definitions provided below are taken from the glossary found at http://www.photoshopelementsuser.com/glossary.php?letter=B The additional comments I have added, and hopefully let you know why you would care about any of this, anyway. The two biggest types of images I describe here fall loosely into two categories: vector images and bitmap images.
