Image Formats: Types and Characteristics
There are several types of image formats, each with its own characteristics and uses:
- Raster Images or Bitmaps: These are formed by many points (pixels) that, as a whole, define the final image. Each of these points has a specific color, luminosity, and contrast. The image files contain the information of the image in a dot matrix (pixels), so-called raster. When you save a bitmap image to a file, the characteristics of all points are stored.
