- 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 JPEG file is an image saved in a compressed graphic format standardized by the Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG). It supports up to 24-bit color and is compressed using lossy compression, which may noticeably reduce the image quality if high amounts of compression are used. JPEG files are commonly used for storing digital photos and web graphics.
