22. Online Digital File Formats for
Images and Text
A computer will have a certain method of encoding information for storage in the hard drive or any form
of computer storage. The ways of encoding and storing this information to storage is called file format. Digital
file formats are categorized as either proprietary or open.
Proprietary Formats are owned and controlled by individuals or corporation and the file format
specifications are not available to the public.
Open formats are means and ways for storing digital information that are free, can be used by the public
and are not encumbered by copyrights or patents.
File format uses suffixes that are added to the end of a filename called filename extensions. The file
extension is a mean of identifying the format of the file, with a period before it after the filename. The file
extensions has usually two or more characters, although historically there were only three, but modern
operating systems are not constrained anymore by that number of characters, more are now allowed.

23.  Digital File Formats are classified into three major groups:
 1. Uncompressed or raw format
-is usually used for storing original file format it is a
flexible form but needs bigger memory to store
 2.Lossless file format
-is a file format that was compress to replicate the original
quality but at a reduced file size.
 3.Lossy File Format
-a file format that was compresses as an approximate of
the original file.

24. Image File Formats
 Means of storing and organizing digital images, photos and illustrations.
 Classified into two types:
*Raster Image Files
*Vector Image Files
 Raster Image Files (Bitmap Images)
-Means of representing digital images in bits of information for storage which translates into pixels.
*Pixel-is the smallest information of an image
-comes from the words picture “Pix” and element “el”
-images using pixels are represented by dots or squares added together to form the picture

25. Image File Formats
 Majority of Raster Files are lossy
 The common formats you will encounter
 Raster Images are stored as bit maps
Examples for this are: JPEG,GIF,PNG FILES

26. Types of Raster Image Formats
 .BMP -Bitmap Image File
-is a file format developed and used on Microsoft windows environment
-stored in a graphic file format called device-independent Bitmap (DIB)
-not a common format on world wide web because of its large file size
 .GIF -Graphical Interchange Format
-very popular on the world wide web because of its portability (small file size)
-ideal for image with large areas of uniform color, small images with text, navigation buttons but it is not good for
photographic images.
-support only 8-bits per pixel color scheme
 .JPG –JPEG Image File
-standarlized by the joint photographic images as well as transmission of photos on the world wide web since it
supports 24 Bits per pixel color scheme..many digital camera store photographs in JPEG Format, JPEG is not ideal for use on line
art.

27. Types of Raster Image Formats
 .PNG -Portable network graphic (PNG)
-is a free open source Bitmap Image Format made to improve on GIF which
has small file but can handle more colors since it supports 24-Bit per pixel color
scheme and support true color (16 million colors) unlike GIF,PNG does not support
animation.
 .PSD -Photoshop Document(PSD)
-Is a native five format for adobe photoshop, and since many are using this
program to create images, it is very popular

28. VECTOR IMAGE OR VECTOR
GRAPHIC FILES
-Are lossless files created using mathematical geometric equations to represent images in digital
computer graphics
-Has the advantage of retaining its quality at any desired image size
-Is the preferred format for those who desire quality points and display of image
Examples of this type of format are:
•PDF
•Encapsulated Postscript
•Scalable Vector Graphics
•Windows Metalife

29. Types of Vector Image Formats
DESCRIPTION
 .AI -Adobe illustrator file

created using paths and lines connected by instead of bitmaps, which may
include objects, color, and test

-Is the most common vector graphic format on the internet. It was developed by
the world wide web consurtion (w3c)to display vector graphics
 Other File Format include TIFF (Tagged Image File Format), RAW (Raw Image Format),
GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) and the PSD (Photoshop Document)

32. Basic Principles of Graphics and
Layout
 Image-the images should be proportionate, with sharp color and high resolution. The
images used should have captions.

and arranged apart from each other. Elements should not be cluttered and not
compete with each other.
