- 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.
- A GIF file is an image file often used for web graphics. It may contain up to 256 indexed colors with a color palette that may be a predefined set of colors or may be adapted to the colors in the image. GIF files are saved in a lossless format, meaning the clarity of the image is not compromised with GIF compression.
