- Description
- The MIL file type, associated with CALS Raster, represents a standardized image file format developed for the exchange of documents and images, primarily within the United States Department of Defense. It adheres to the CALS (Continuous Acquisition and Life-cycle Support) initiative aimed at improving the efficiency of technical data management. MIL files, being raster images, are composed of pixels, making them suitable for detailed graphics like scanned documents and technical drawings. This format is designed for interoperability and long-term digital preservation, ensuring that documents can be accessed and remain readable over extended periods.
- 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.
