Explain five(10) images file format below Jpeg: In computing, JPEG (, ) is a commonly used method of lossy compression for photographic images. The degree of compression can be adjusted, allowing a selectable tradeoff between storage size and image quality. JPEG typically achieves 10:1 compression with little perceptible loss in image quality tiff: Tagged Image File Format. One of the most common graphic file formats for line-art and photographic images. A TIFF file always consists of pixels; it can store information at any resolution the user requests and can include color or black & white data. www.binarygraphics.com/glossary/imaging.html Tagged Image File Format (abbreviated TIFF) is a file format for storing images, popular among Apple Macintosh owners, graphic artists, the publishing industry, and both amateur and professional photographers in general.

The BMP File Format is capable of storing 2D digital images of arbitrary width, height, and resolution, both monochrome and color, in various color depths, and optionally with data compression, alpha channels, and color profiles. Pbm:
PBMs, PGMs and PPMs are a family of bitmap formats, where PBMs store black+white images, PGMs store grayscale images and PPMs store color images.

Basic File Format


Since PGMs are not binary files (as most other bitmap formats), but ASCII files, "fields" are not determined by a length in bytes, but seperated by whitespace. Note that there can be comments, which are considered as whitespace, and that no line should be longer than 70 characters. The CRs and LFs in the file do not have to correspond to the end of a pixel row.
