Different image types

1. Underwater Imaging and Image
Processing

2. Types of image formats
• JPEG
• TIFF
• PNG
• BMP
• GIP
• RAW FORMAT

3. JPEG
• JPEG or Joint Photographic Experts Group, a most common format used for adjusting the image
quality and file size.
• Controls the file compression
• The more compressed the image is, the lower quality image and lower file size are, and vice versa.
• Often used file format ( painting and realistic images) that have a variety of tone and color.
• It is the format used by the majority of digital cameras.
• This format works by removing tiny details and things that the human eye cannot see.
• This is known as “lossy” compression.
• JPEG has some different types like Progressive JPEG which is a type that shows a low quality
image and improves it over a short amount of time. This is commonly used for the internet to help
the users that have a slow connection

4. PNG
• PNG or Portable Network Graphics file
• Format used for photos and pictures that need a transparent background or animations.
• The transparent part does not need to be the background because you can make
transparent almost everywhere in the picture.
• Using this format can be useful especially when creating logos, Designing a website or
even creating other images.
• Like GIF and TIFF, PNG is a raster format, so it represents an image as a two-dimensional
array of colored dots (pixels).

5. GIF
• GIF or Graphics Interchange Format
• GIF works by reducing the size of the images and some short animations. And because
no data and information is lost, this format became popular.
• As the time this file format was created, it supports 256 colors and during this time, it
was considered by many as a breakthrough.
• The method used to keep file at a minimum size is a compression algorithm commonly
used or referred to as LZW name after the inventors who made GIF, Abraham Lempel
and Jacob Ziv of Israel and Terry Welch of the United States.
• GIF was so popular back then but now it is used repeatedly over the internet to post
videos and memes on websites such as Reddit, Tumblr, Pinterest and others.

6. BMP
• BMP also known as bitmap image file and Device Independent Bitmap or simply Bitmap,
is raster image format used to keep digital images.
• The BMP file format is able to store two dimensional digital images, both monochrome
and colored.
• Since BMP format can support a wide range of colors and tones, it is used at photographs
for shaded drawings and other detailed images.
• Detailed images usually are large but can be compressed so that the images can be
detailed but not that hungry on storage. But if you want an image that is detailed,
compression would be an option.

7. TIFF
• TIFF or Tagged Image File Format
• A computer file format that is a common format for exchanging raster graphic images
between Programs.
• This format is mainly used by photographers and graphics artists because TIFF is
supported by faxing, scanning and word processing.
• TIFF is used mainly Desktop Publishing and 3-D apps and medical imaging applications.

8. Raw Format
• So the term Raw is unprocessed, right? Well this type of Format is just as it said as
“unprocessed”.
• Nothing but the picture that was taken and stored – meaning no data was lost or gained
because what you took or shoot in the camera was the RAW format.
• Nothing was eventually compressed or stretched, nothing is modified.
• The Raw Format remains at it is uncompressed and contains almost all the information
from the CCD or CMOS, Then it can be adjusted and edited to be converted into either
TIFF or JPEG and other file formats.
