Chapter 2 Downloading and Printing Images Chapter 3 What You Can Do with a Camera Connected Chapter 4 Viewing Images Chapter 5 Organizing Images Chapter 6 Using Supplementary Features Appendices Index Supported Image Types The following is a list of image types supported by ZoomBrowser EX. Readable Image Types ZoomBrowser EX can read the following image types. ■ JPEG (.JPG) Most cameras use this image type. It compresses at very high ratios, taking advantage of the characteristics of the human eye. However, because it is an irreversible compression method (part of the data is lost during compression), if you process and save an image repeatedly using this method, the image may become rougher. ■ RAW (.CRW/.CR2) This is a proprietary image type provided by Canon. It saves the output of the image pixels from a digital camera without any deterioration in the quality of the image. Some cameras might not support this image type. ■ Windows bitmap (.BMP) This file type comes standard with Windows. Most Windows programs support it. ■ TIFF (.TIF) This is a relatively popular image type. It is widely supported by non-Windows programs (such as Macintosh). ■ PhotoCD (.PCD) This is the image type used for Photo CDs. ■ Video clip (.AVI) Standard Windows movie image type. The movie thumbnail and a movie icon show in ZoomBrowser EX's Browser Area. ■ QuickTime (.MOV) This is a movie which displays as a movie icon in the Browsing Area of ZoomBrowser EX. ■ MPEG4 (.ASF) Movies that integrate multimedia data, such as video, audio and text. Primarily used by Windows programs. The MPEG4 compression technology allows for compact file sizes and delivery over networks. ZoomBrowser EX Software User Guide 142 Back Next
