- 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.
- An RGBA file is a color bitmap image format created by Silicon Graphics (SGI). It is similar to the .RGB file as it supports color RGB channels with an alpha channel.
