Their use should be limited to where the particular format is really required. Some image formats support an optional, single transparent color. This means one color is transparent, the others are not. Alpha transparency means that colors can have a varying degree of transparency typically Each color or pixel can be either opaque, totally transparent or a mix of the color and the background.
One is not forced to use transparency. Image formats that support transparency also support a non-transparent mode.
Interlacing is a technique that allows a partially downloaded image to be displayed as a low-resolution image. Interlacing has been useful for online use, especially when download speeds have been slow. An interlaced image is stored in a specific order. The start of the file stores a low-resolution copy of the image. Subsequential bytes increase the resolution.
A high-resolution image is available after all the bytes have been read. When reading an interlaced GIF, you first get every 8th line, then every 4th line, then every 2nd line, and during the last pass, the rest of the lines. PNG combines vertical and horizontal interlacing. Whereas GIF stores each line in full, a PNG also interlaces in the x-direction, meaning just a few pixels per line at first.
There is usually no file size penalty in storing GIFs interlaced. On the contrary, interlaced PNG files may be larger due to compression disadvantages. Progressive JPEGs are not supported by all applications. Interlacing is optional. One can set it off. Multiple images. Most image formats store only one image, possibly with an optional thumbnail. A GIF file can store multiple images. Most applications display them as an animated sequence, even though the GIF specification also has an unanimated option.
A TIFF file can store multiple images, unanimated. It usually displays as a multi-page document. Multi-image versions of these formats do exist.
We are not going any further into these formats. Max pixels is the absolute maximum pixel width and height allowed by the file format. In practice, applications have problems displaying much smaller images. They run out of memory or just fail to cope with images exceeding their internal limits.
This is because the commonly used signed short integer datatype supports values up to The TGA format does not specify the maximum exactly. Width and height are stored in a 2-byte integer field.
Whether the field is a signed or an unsigned integer is not specified. Textual metadata. At times one wishes to record metadata: some information about the image. The information can be such as author name, image title, camera model, application name and so on.
Image formats differ in their ability to store metadata. This is a short description of the alternatives. Numeric metadata. The above applies to textual metadata. Longer answer: CMYK jpgs are rare, rare enough that only a few programs will open them. It can also vary by software revision.
This should tell you the color space of the image. Step 2: Click the Image tab at the top of the screen. Step 3: Select the Mode option. Your current color profile is displayed in the rightmost column of this menu.
Info given from Apple about what colour format to use for your photos, says to use RGB. While this is corrcet for digital monitors and screens. Mass printing uses CMYK. The format is similar to that for grayscale images, except now the chunk contains three unscaled, bit values red, green, and blue , and the corresponding RGB pixel is treated as fully transparent.
In general, PNG is a higher-quality compression format. JPG images are generally of lower quality, but are faster to load.
Armed with those two profiles, the colour management system will convert the numbers in the document to the numbers that must be sent to the device in order that the correct colours are displayed. All the math is done in the background. Color Management.
