Formats There are two main kinds of graphics: raster graphics and vector graphics. Raster (or bitmap) graphics is to represent graphics into small rectangular points called pixels. Raster graphics Common raster image formats are listed below: Extension Name Properties BMP Windows Bitmap Accepted in most image processing programs. JPG (or JPEG) Joint Photographic Expert Group stands for GNU Image Manipulation Program.  It is Open Source.  It is Cross Platform.  It is Bitmap Graphics Editor, not for Vector editing. GIMP Interface When you start GIMP7, you will see

An uncompressed bitmap format used by Microsoft Windows for displaying graphics. Color depth is typically 1, 4 or 8 bits although the format does support more. "From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (13 Mar 01) : bitmap A data file or structure which corresponds bit for bit with an image displayed on a screen, probably

The reason to do that is not evident. Note that this transformation of text into bitmap is automatically performed when you apply a graphic to get the desired effect. This type of filter is best for filtering out dithering noise in both bitmap and color images. Edge enhancement. (-0.1 >= alpha >= -0.9) This is the opposite type of filter

something...ANYTHING...useful. Something in C. Something that did not rely on nested lists to represent a bitmap. Thus, the Gimp was born. 4 T h e G i m p Us er ’ s M a n u a l W ha t I s Gimp? Like the phoenix layered image in TIFF format, make sure you flatten it before you save it. • BMP: An uncompressed bitmap format used by Microsoft Windows for displaying graphics. Color depth is typically 1, 4 or 8 bits lossless, you might as well use it. Use LZW with 4, 8 and 24 bit images and Pack Bits with 1 bit (bitmap) images like FaxG3 images, because Pack Bits is only designed to work on 1 bit images (B&W). The
