- 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.
- The FPX (FlashPix Bitmap Image File) format is a type of image file designed to support high-resolution photographs and images. Developed in the mid-1990s by a consortium including Kodak, Microsoft, Hewlett-Packard, and Live Picture Inc., the FPX format is based on the Image Content Architecture (ICA), which allows it to store multiple resolutions of an image within a single file. This makes it especially useful for efficiently viewing and editing images without requiring the full image file.
