The most well known format for graphics is .jpg.\u00a0JPEG<\/strong>\u00a0is the abbreviation for “Joint Photographic Experts Group\u201d. JPG’s are popular and frequently used due to their excellent compression abilities which ensure that a file is as small as possible, but the images don’t lose too much of their quality. You can always use jpg’s if you need to forward graphic files without having to worry about the files’s size. BMP<\/strong>\u00a0or the Bitmap format is one of the oldest and most primitive graphical types and has NO compression.\u00a0In\u00a0computer graphics, a\u00a0bitmap\u00a0or\u00a0pixmap\u00a0is a type of\u00a0memory\u00a0organization or\u00a0image file format\u00a0used to store\u00a0digital images. The term\u00a0bitmap<\/em>\u00a0comes from the\u00a0computer programming\u00a0terminology, meaning just a\u00a0map of bits<\/em>, a spatially mapped\u00a0array of bits. Bitmaps are generally large and unnecessarily\u00a0take up a lot of pace which clogs the network and email servers. It will also fill up your mailbox very fast if you keep copies of your emails in your Sent items<\/em>\u00a0, as well as the receiver’s mailbox. Try to avoid bitmaps as far as possible. GIF <\/strong>(Graphics Interchange Format)\u00a0<\/strong>is a\u00a0bitmap\u00a0image format\u00a0that was introduced by\u00a0CompuServe\u00a0in 1987 and has since come into widespread usage on the\u00a0World Wide Web\u00a0due to its wide support and portability. The format supports up to\u00a08 bits per pixel\u00a0thus allowing a single image to reference a palette of up to 256 distinct colors. GIFs are suitable for sharp-edged line art (such as logos) with a limited number of colors and for small\u00a0small animations and low-resolution film clips. In view of the general limitation on the GIF image palette to 256 colors, it is not usually used as a format for\u00a0digital photography. Digital photographers use image file formats capable of reproducing a greater range of colors, such as\u00a0TIFF,\u00a0RAW\u00a0or\u00a0JPEG. To prevent graphic files clogging up your mailbox and those of friends and colleagues, resize your photos or images before you email them. You don’t need to send a high resolution photo to someone for them to see what’s on it \u00a0– unless the receiver is supposed to make a high quality print. PNG<\/strong>\u00a0(Portable Network Graphics) is a format designed for transferring images on the Internet, not for professional-quality print graphics, and therefore does not support non-RGB\u00a0color spaces\u00a0such as\u00a0CMYK.\u00a0PNG offers a variety of transparency options. TIFF<\/strong>‘s (Tagged Image File Format)\u00a0<\/strong>are\u00a0<\/strong>used by professional printers for the best possible quality prints with some compression.\u00a0Originally created by the companyAldus\u00a0for use with what was then called “desktop publishing”, the TIFF format is widely supported by image-manipulation applications, by publishing and page layout applications, by\u00a0scanning,\u00a0faxing,\u00a0word processing,\u00a0optical character recognition\u00a0and other applications.<\/p>\n(Information supplied by Neels Blom & Wikipedia)<\/p>\n
Jy wil net `n eenvoudige foto vir iemand met e-pos stuur, maar al die verskillende grafika formate en wanneer dit die beste is om watter een te gebruik, maak jou meer deurmekaar as `n verkleurmannetjie op `n smartieboksie.<\/p>\n
Kom ons begin voor –<\/p>\n
BMP<\/strong> oftewel die Bitmap formaat is een van die oudste\/primitiefste grafika tipes en het GEEN “compression nie”. As gevolg van bitmaps se \u00a0gebrek aan kompressie, is die le\u00ears onnodig groot en neem dit geweldig baie spasie op en word die netwerk en e-pos bediener oorlaai. Dit sal ook jou eie posbus volmaak as dit in jou Sent items<\/em> agterbly, sowel as die ontvanger. Probeer \u00a0bitmaps vermy en gebruik eerder `n jpg.<\/p>\n GIF\u00a0<\/strong>(Graphics Interchange Format)\u00a0<\/strong>is ‘n bitmap grafikaformaat wat in 1987 deur CompuServe\u00a0bekendgestel is en nou w\u00eareldwyd gebruik. Die formaat ondersteun tot 8 bits per pixel en laat dus `n enkele grafiese beeld toe om `n palet van tot 256 afsonderlike kleure te gebruik.<\/p>\n GIFs is geskik vir grafika met duidelike lyne en `n beperkte aantal kleure \u00a0(soos logos) en vir klein animasies en lae-resolusie filminsetsels. Weens GIFs se beperkinge is hulle nie geskik vir digitale fotografie nie, maar behoort \u00a0TIFF,\u00a0RAW\u00a0of JPEGs eerder gebruik te word.<\/p>\n Om minder spasie te gebruik, probeer eers jou grafika kleiner maak. Dis nie nodig om `n ho\u00eb resolusie le\u00ear van `n paar meg te stuur om iets te kan sien op `n foto nie. (tensy jy beplan dat die persoon wat dit ontvang, dit moet druk)<\/p>\n PNG<\/strong>\u00a0(Portable Network Graphics) is `n formaat ontwerp vir die oordra en versprei van grafika op die internet, nie vir professionele ho\u00eb-kwaliteit drukwerk nie. Die formaat ondersteun dus ook nie CMYK nie, maar bied `n verskeidenheid deursigtigheidsopsies.<\/p>\n TIFF<\/strong>‘s (Tagged Image File Format) <\/strong>word gebruik deur professionele drukkers vir die beste moontlike kwaliteit afdrukke.\u00a0<\/strong>Die formaat is deur die maatskappy Aldus geskep vir wat destyds “desktop publishing” genoem is en die TIFF-formaat word deur die meeste grafika-manipulasie-, \u00a0skandering, \u00a0faks-, woordverwerking-, optiese karakterherkenning- en uitlegsagteware gebruik.<\/p>\n (Inligting verskaf deur Neels Blom en Wikipedia)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" All you want to do, is email a simple photo to one of your friends or colleagues, but the various formats you can resize images to and which ones you should be using, are just too confusing.

JPEG<\/strong> is die afkorting vir \u201cJoint Photographic Experts Group\u201d, maar dis nie nodig om te onthou nie. JPG’s is gewild en word algemeen gebruik omdat dit beskik oor uitstekende kompressiemetodes om te verseker dat die l\u00eaer so klein moontlik kan wees, sonder dat daar sigbare verslegting van die beeld plaasvind. Jy kan dit dus met `n geruste hart gebruik om jou fotos vir familielede aan te stuur sonder dat jou posbus moedeloos sug onder die vreeslike lading.<\/p>\n
