- Description
- This format is used to compress TIFF images when sending them via fax machines. This format helps reduce the data transmission time. Group 3 eliminates redundant data during compression in order to reduce file size. The standard 10:1 compression ratio may be increased to the user's preferences, but it can lead to a significant loss of image quality.
- DCX file is a multi-page image file developed by raster file or bitmap file formats. It is generated fro PCX files, so it has a small header that shows the .dcx then a sequence of .pcx data. Popularly used by applications to create and send multi-page fax files.
