JPEG

JPEG (/ˈpɛɡ/ JAY-peg) is a commonly used method of lossy compression for digital images, particularly for those images produced by digital photography. The degree of compression can be adjusted, allowing a selectable tradeoff between storage size and image quality. JPEG typically achieves 10:1 compression with little perceptible loss in image quality.

JPEG compression is used in a number of image file formats. JPEG/Exif is the most common image format used by digital cameras and other photographic image capture devices; along with JPEG/JFIF, it is the most common format for storing and transmitting photographic images on the World Wide Web. These format variations are often not distinguished, and are simply called JPEG.

The term "JPEG" is an abbreviation for the Joint Photographic Experts Group, which created the standard. The MIME media type for JPEG is image/jpeg, except in older Internet Explorer versions, which provides a MIME type of image/pjpeg when uploading JPEG images. JPEG files usually have a filename extension of .jpg or .jpeg.

BMP file format

The BMP file format, also known as bitmap image file or device independent bitmap (DIB) file format or simply a bitmap, is a raster graphics image file format used to store bitmap digital images, independently of the display device (such as a graphics adapter), especially on Microsoft Windows and OS/2 operating systems.

The BMP file format is capable of storing two-dimensional digital images of arbitrary width, height, and resolution, both monochrome and color, in various color depths, and optionally with data compression, alpha channels, and color profiles. The Windows Metafile (WMF) specification covers the BMP file format. Among others wingdi.h defines BMP constants and structures.

Device-independent bitmaps and the BMP file format

Microsoft has defined a particular representation of color bitmaps of different color depths, as an aid to exchanging bitmaps between devices and applications with a variety of internal representations. They called these device-independent bitmaps or DIBs, and the file format for them is called DIB file format or BMP image file format.

    Eden

    by: Die Happy

    There's war in the heavens
    Rebellion on high
    the son of the morning
    Descends from a black sky
    Severed and broken
    His wings burned to dust
    His coverings of diamonds and gold
    In a moment in time dissolve to rust
    Thunder and lightning
    Shatter the night
    The dragon of darkness
    Appears cursed by the keeper of the light
    The dark is chosen
    The scroll has been sealed
    Hidden in verses of prophets
    His face is revealed
    Songs of glory
    Shout across the land
    I can take you there
    Child of mine, take my hand
    Down through the ages
    The story's been told
    The daughter of wisdom
    Beguiled by the serpent of old
    Born into sin in a valley of thorns
    Torn from enchantment and
    Tossed into the eye of the storm
    Heaven's garden
    Made by God for man
    This is paradise
    Child of mine, take my hand
    Glory to glory
    Sin after sin
    The rider of death
    Pushes on to the place where
    The battle must begin
    Songs of glory
    Shout across the land
    This is paradise
    Won't you take my hand
    Heaven's garden
    Made by God for man
    This is paradise
    Child of mine, take my hand
    Oh, take my hand
