Talk:Image file formats

[edit] Intro is bad
The introduction makes no mention of vector formats or voxels. Rewrite it? (Making sure nobody screams)
If there are kinds of formats i'm ignorant of, please enlighten me. — Pandion auk 01:06, 12 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Lossy versus lossless
The picture comparasion is a good idea, but it's not very effective right now: the two images compared have been shrunk by about 50% in each direction, so the artifacts introduced in the second one aren't apparent unless the image is clicked on and displayed full size.
[edit] Similar article
I also note Graphics file format summary. Devil's advocate: do these two pages serve two different purposes? — Jon Dowland 14:59, 15 September 2005 (UTC)
- I just talked about it on Talk:Graphics file format summary. I think the two can live harmoniously, with a little cleanup and organization — Fitch 19:42, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Other File Types
I was wondering if putting in other files types as in like photoshop types and lesser known types is a good idea. As a side note should the camera information be there as cameras will change over time and alot of the words used to describe that info sound a bit like weasel words. -- ×××jijin+machina | Chat Me!××× — 01:50, 15 September 2005 (UTC)
[edit] raster vs. vector, etc.
Is there any kind-of criteria for which filetypes should be listed here? Currently they're all raster. I'd add vector but I don't know what the principal author's intention is. If this is to be a comparison of bitmap image formats, I'd suggest renaming the article to indicate this.
On the subject of the article's title, it seems that comparison of graphics file formats might be more appropriate, in line with the category Graphics file formats. — Jon Dowland 14:55, 15 September 2005 (UTC)
The heading heirarchy puts individual bitmap formats at the same level as all vector formats. It also says nothing about deep-bitmaps (three dimensional, like DICOM — w/ voxels). I suggest:
- Bitmap formats
- PNG
- JPEG
- Vector formats
- SVG
- ...
- Deep-bitmap formats (or whatever they are called)
- DICOM
- ...

I'm going to go ahead and reorganize the article now. Feel free to revert it if you think you have a good reason and are willing to debate it, but explain why you do so on the talk page, please. -- Pandion auk 02:34, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] A few notes
- TIFF also supports lossy compression. TIFF files can be JPEG compressed.
- Exif is also used in TIFF files not just JPEG

[edit] EPS?
Shouldn't EPS be listed among the formats here? I find professionally it's the more dominant format used. Hoshq 19:13, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
