Supported Image Types
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.
