WEEK TWO READINGS

In today’s reading, we had to work on Adobe Reader document. This was done to notify students of the several sorts of Graphic Formats. The following are the five different formats and a summary of what they are:-

1) Bitmap (.bmp):BMP is the standard Windows bitmap image format for PC's.

2) CompuServe (.gif):GIF is a compressed format (max 256 colours) that is designed to minimize file transfer time over phone lines.

3) Joint Photographic Experts Group - or Jpeg (.jpg):JPEG format is commonly used to display images on the Internet. Unlike the GIF format however, JPEG retains all the color information in an RGB image.

4) The Tagged-Image File Format (.tiff):TIFF is used to exchange files between applications and computer platforms as it can be read by both Macintosh or IBM compatible / Windows (PC's) computers.

5) PhotoShop Document (.psd ~ .psp ~ .spp):The image formats discussed previously are all flat images. That is, they have one layer of visual data. Layered image formats are formats that support more than one layer of visual data.
