Today you are going to investigate the different types of bitmap graphics file we will use during the course. You must create a presentation which covers Bitmap,GIF,JPEG & PNG file formats. You can use your notes, the scholar website and other websites including this one to do your research. A clear example of each file type must be included in the presentation, this should show some advantage or disadvantage of the image format. Please use the point below to help you in your investigation.
Description of the storage of graphic data in compressed and uncompressed file formats, including simple description of the techniques used within each file for compression and data storage, including:
- bitmap (indexed colour or CLUT), 24-bit bitmap and compressed bitmap (RLE),
- GIF (animation, (non)-interlaced, LZW),
- JPEG (description of factors involved),
- PNG (CLUT or RGB, transparency, compressed)
