- Description
- The SCR file format, standing for Sun Rasterfile, is a raster graphics file format developed by Sun Microsystems. It is primarily used for storing bitmap images on SunOS/Solaris operating systems. The format supports various color depths, including 1, 8, 24, and 32-bit color images, allowing it to handle both grayscale and color images. SCR files are notable for their simplicity and were widely used in SunOS environments for graphical data storage and manipulation.
- 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.
