Img Mod1 Session7

This document discusses common image file formats: 1) It introduces common image file formats like GIF, JPEG, PNG, and TIFF, explaining their key features and limitations. 2) GIF uses LZW lossless compression and is best for images with few colors. JPEG uses lossy DCT compression but allows for the highest level of compression. PNG uses lossless compression and supports transparency. 3) TIFF is often used for scanned images but results in large file sizes as it does not compress images. Overall, the document provides a brief overview and comparison of several popular image file formats.

Image File Format
• A file format is a method used to store digital
data.
• An image file consists of two parts (i) file
header (ii) image data
• A file header contains image width, height,
type of the image
• The image data format specifies the order in
which pixel values are store in the image data
section.
4
Common File Format
• Based on image storage and retrieval,
• GIF (Graphics Interchange Format)
• JPEG (Joint Photographic Export Format)
• PNG (Portable Network Graphics)
• TIFF (Tagged Image File Format)

5
GIF File Format
• Uses LZW algorithm
• Limited to 8-bit color images
• Best suited for images with few distinctive
colours
• Uses lossless compression scheme
• Quality of the image is preserved
• GIF Interlaced images can be displayed as low
resolution images initially and then develop
clarity and detail gradually

6
Contd…
• GIF Images can be used to create simple
animations
• Allows image to be transparent.
Limitations
• It supports maximum of 256 colours
• So complex images may lose detail when
converted into GIF

7
JPEG
• Not actually a file type but image compression
(DCT compression)
• It’s a single layer raster image in 24-bit format
• Highest level of compression is possible .
• But it is lossy
• JPEG images are not interlaced. But progressive
JPEG can be interlaced.
• Effective transmission
•

8
PNG
• Values displayed on any platform to be the
same as that of the original.
• Uses lossless compression technique
• Images can be interlaced
• It supports transparency

9
TIFF
• Often used with scanned images.
• Images are often larges as TIFF does not
compress files.
• Quality is preserved
• It can handle multiple images in a single file using
tag feature.
Disadvantage
• Due to large size it is rarely used in web
applications
