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 ImageBrowser. Readable Image Types ImageBrowser can read the following image types. ■ JPEG 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. Exif JPEG is an image type that adds information such as shooting data to a JPEG image. ■ RAW This is a proprietary image type provided by Canon. It allows 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. ■ PICT This is the standard image type for Macintosh. This image type is supported by most Macintosh software. ■ TIFF This is a relatively popular image type. It is widely supported by non-Macintosh programs (such as Windows). ■ Windows Bitmap This image type comes standard with Windows. Most Windows programs support it. ■ QuickTime/AVI These are movies, which display as a movie icon in the Browser Area of ImageBrowser. ImageBrowser Software User Guide 127 Back Next
