- Description
- The LSS16 file type is associated with the 16-bit version of the Lossless Simple Storage format, which is a type of data file used to store images in a lossless compression format. This means that when images are compressed to LSS16 files, there is no loss in image quality, allowing for exact reconstruction of the original image. It is designed to efficiently store graphical data, especially for applications where preserving the original image fidelity is crucial. The "16" in its name refers to the bit depth of the images it stores, indicating that it can support up to 16 bits per color channel, providing high color accuracy and detail.
- Windows vector graphics format recognized by many image-editing applications; basically a 32-bit version of the original Windows Metafile Format (.WMF), which only supports 16-bit data; saves image data in an RGB format and does not support CMYK data.
