In computer graphics, pixels encoding the RGBA color space information must be stored in computer memory (or in files on disk). In most cases four equal-sized pieces of adjacent memory are used, one for each channel, and a 0 in a channel indicates black color or transparent alpha, while all-1 bits indicates white or fully opaque alpha.
All convert a 4×4 block of pixels to a 64-bit or 128-bit quantity, resulting in compression ratios of 6:1 with 24-bit RGB input data or 4:1 with 32-bit RGBA input data. S3TC is a lossy compression algorithm, resulting in image quality degradation, an effect which is minimized by the ability to increase texture resolutions while maintaining the ...
Implementation of these formats is specific to each machine. Therefore, the number of colors that can be simultaneously displayed in a given text or graphic mode might be different. Also, the actual displayed colors are subject to the output format used - PAL or NTSC, composite or component video, etc. - and might
The RGBA and RG11 formats are encoded in 128 bits per 4x4 block, while the rest are encoded in 64 bits per block. For RGBA, the RGB channels are encoded in a regular 64-bit block, while the A channel gets its own 64-bit block. RG11 formats are encoded similarly, with one 64-bit block per component.
Because many raw image formats are specific to one make or model of camera, dcraw is frequently updated to support new models. For many proprietary raw image formats, dcraw's source code (based largely on reverse-engineering) is the best—or only—publicly available documentation. dcraw currently supports the raw formats of several hundred ...
Many image formats are native to one specific graphics application and are not offered as an export option in other software, due to proprietary considerations. An example of this is Adobe Photoshop 's native PSD-format (Prevention of Significant Deterioration), which cannot be opened in less sophisticated programs for image viewing or editing ...
Zamzar is an online file converter and compressor, created by brothers Mike and Chris Whyley in England in 2006. [1] [2] It allows users to convert files online, without downloading a software tool, and supports over 1,200 different conversion types. [3]
RGBE allows pixels to have the dynamic range and precision of floating-point values in a relatively compact data structure (32 bits per pixel) - often when images are generated from light simulations, the range of per-pixel color intensity values are much greater than will nicely fit into the standard 0..255 (8-bit) range of standard 24-bit image formats.
