- 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.
- Photo CD is a system designed by Kodak for digitizing and saving photos onto a CD. Launched in 1991 the discs were designed to hold nearly 100 high quality images, scanned prints and slides using special proprietary encoding.
