Image File Types.

well, this is the next task that has to be done.



I'm looking for info on the different file types, for example, gif files, jpeg files etc.



well, getting started.



GIF FILES

GIF files are usually used for small animations, and low resolution film clips. The number of colour gif images have are 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128 or 256. GIF cannont be used for digital photography or still images.



JPEG FILES

JPEG files are used mainly for digital cameras or other photographic things. Also, it can be used for storing and transmitting images over the world wide web. Cool, huh. The number of colour a JPEG has is either 256, 16777216 or 4294967296. JPEG's cannot be edited multiple times because i don't know why.



ANIMATED GIF FILES

Animated GIF's are used for making series of images or frames. Animated GIF's are larger than single frame GIF's which would mean they would take longer to download because of the size. The size of an animated GIF file is usually 60x60 pixels.

MPEG FILES

MPEG files are used for digital video's or digital audio compressions. To use MPEG files, your computer would have to have sufficient speed, large hard disk space and lots of internal memory. MPEG's have 800mb of colour and a standard 1100kbps.

SHOCKWAVE FILES

SHOCKWAVE files are mostly used for multimedia, but also for vector images. SHOCKWAVE files can be played in Adobe Flash Player, working as a browser plug-in or a standalone player. It has 800x600 pixels and a 16 bit depth
