Dr. Halo files are device-independent images. The image is stored in one file (.CUT) and the palette is stored in a separate file (PAL). If the image has no corresponding .PAL file, it is considered a grayscale image. NOTES-END EPS, Encapsulated PostScript Raster Images (No Vector Data) | .eps | NOCHK | NOCHK | CHK | NOCHK NOTES-START
These files are used primarily on PostScript printers. These printers usually offer more variety of fonts and higher resolution than standard laser printers. EPS files will work on any PostScript compatible printer and any end-user application that supports placement of EPS files in its work space.
The image that you read from an EPS file can be either a PostScript raster image or an embedded TIFF image. The image that you write to an EPS file is always a PostScript raster image.
You can write only an 8-bit PostScript raster image, which is grayscale. NOTES-END Exif Formats (embedded TIFF or JPEG) | .exif | NOCHK | CHK | NOCHK | NOCHK NOTES-START
Exif is a standard for image files created with digital cameras and other input devices. The standard is set by the Japan Electronic Industry Development Association, and formally it is called the Digital Still Camera Image File Format Standard.
Exif files contain either uncompressed TIFF images or compressed JPEG (YUV 4:2:2 sampling) images. NOTES-END GEM Image | .gem | NOCHK | NOCHK | NOCHK | CHK NOTES-START
These files are native to the Graphical Environment Manager developed by Digital Research. NOTES-END Intergraph Format | .itg, | NOCHK | NOCHK | NOCHK | CHK NOTES-START
Intergraph is a monochrome bitmap format developed by Intergraph. RLE and CIT versions of this file format are supported.
The default extensions used by this format are ITG.
This file format does not support stamps or Lossless JPEG compression. For this file format, CCITT G4 and RLE compression are supported. NOTES-END Kodak FlashPix | .fpx | NOCHK | CHK | CHK | NOCHK NOTES-START
The FlashPix file format was developed through the combined efforts of Eastman Kodak Company, Microsoft Corporation, Hewlett-Packard Company, and Live Picture Inc. It combines the best features of existing formats with object orientation to make the use of digital color images easier. NOTES-END Lead 1-Bit Format | .cmp | NOCHK | NOCHK | NOCHK | CHK NOTES-START
This is a proprietary 1-bit Leadtools compressed format that has better compression and performance than other 1-bit formats. NOTES-END MacPaint | .mac | NOCHK | NOCHK | NOCHK | CHK NOTES-START
These Macintosh Paint files are commonly used for monochrome clip art. NOTES-END Microsoft Paint | .msp | NOCHK | NOCHK | NOCHK | CHK NOTES-START
These files from early versions of Windows are used for black-and-white drawings and clip art. NOTES-END PICT, Macintosh | .pct, .pict | NOCHK | CHK | CHK | CHK NOTES-START
PCT is the format used for Macintosh QuickDraw pictures.
Version 1 and 2 of PCT are supported. NOTES-END PCX and DCX, Zsoft | .pcx, .dcx | NOCHK | CHK | CHK | CHK NOTES-START
This is a file format created by ZSoft. This format compresses its image data with the RLE type compression. NOTES-END Portable Bitmap Utilities | .pbm | NOCHK | CHK | CHK | CHK NOTES-START
The Portable Bitmap Utilities consists of Portable Greymap Utilities (PGM), Portable Pixmap Utilities (PPM), and Portable Anymap Utilities (PNM). Their source is the UNIX environment.
For PBM files, you can write the following bits per pixel: 1.
For PGM files, you can write the following bits per pixel: 8 (Grayscale).
For PPM files, you can write the following bits per pixel: 24. NOTES-END Scitex Continuous Tone Format | .sct, .ct | NOCHK | CHK | NOCHK | NOCHK NOTES-START
The Scitex Continuous Tone file format was developed by Scitex and is used for high-end image processing. The SCT/CT files are used primarily to store CMY and CMYK color space for the image. For saving the SCT file format, CMY is used instead of CMYK. This maintains the image quality, since the conversion from RGB to CMYK will result in some loss of data. NOTES-END Windows Animated Cursor | .ani | NOCHK | CHK | CHK | CHK NOTES-START
ANI is an animated cursor (animated mouse pointer). This file format is used for storing Windows Animated Cursors.
Transparency information is not supported for writing within these files. NOTES-END Windows Clipboard | .clp | NOCHK | CHK | CHK | CHK NOTES-START
CLP stands for Microsoft Windows Clipboard. This file format is used to store the contents of the clipboard to disk. The clipboard is an area of memory shared by the Windows operating system, and it is a simple mechanism for exchanging data between applications. NOTES-END Windows Icons And Cursors | .ico, .cur | NOCHK | CHK | CHK | CHK NOTES-START
Windows Icon (ICO). This is a file format for storing one or more Windows icons. The background color when you read these images is always black. The size when you write these images can be no larger than 255-by-255 pixels (neither the width nor height can be greater than 255).
Windows Cursor (CUR). This is a file format for storing Windows cursors (mouse pointers). Transparency information is not supported for writing to these files. The size when you write these images should be exactly 32-by-32 pixels. NOTES-END Wireless Bitmap Format | .wbmp | NOCHK | NOCHK | NOCHK | CHK NOTES-START
The Wireless Bitmap file format is a 1-bit format used to send graphical information to a variety of handsets. It is terminal independent and describes only graphical information. NOTES-END X Windows Dump | .xwd | CHK | CHK | CHK | CHK NOTES-START
XWD stands for X Window dump. This file format is used to store and restore screen window images. Two versions of this file exist, the X10 window dump and the X11 window dump. These versions differ slightly in the format of the data (i.e. headers and bits per pixel).
The version X10 XWD file cannot have more than 8bpp image data.
For the version X10 XWD files, you can write the following bits per pixel: 1, 4, 8.
For the version X11 XWD files, you can write the following bits per pixel: 1, 4, 8, 16. 24, 32. NOTES-END XPicMap Format | .xpm | NOCHK | CHK | CHK | CHK NOTES-START
XPM files are used to store X Window PixMap information to disk. They are capable of storing black-and-white, grayscale, and color images. XPM stores image data in the form of ASCII text formatted as a standard C character string array. NOTES-END
