Vector graphic

Vector images are stored as algebraic equations defining the various lines and curves of the drawing. They can also include bitmap information. They are created in illustration programs, such as CorelDRAW or bitmap tracing applications, such as Corel OCR-TRACE. Vector formats are not restricted to certain color depths.


File compression

Computer files are often stored in a compressed format to save space on your hard disk. There are several compression techniques that can be used, depending on the original file format. Generally, the more compressed a file is, the slower it is to read from and/or write to.

Compression can be lossless or lossy. Lossless compression retains all the original data through the compression and decompression processes. Lossless compression is recommended for storing text or numerical data, such as spreadsheets. Lossy compression loses some of the original data, but depending on your requirements, this loss may not make a difference in the final result of your work. Lossy compression can compress your original files to a much greater extent than lossless compression, and so it may be desired when disk space is at a premium.


Color depth

Color depth refers to the number of colors that can be supported in a file. A 1-bit file supports two colors (usually black and white), a 2-bit file supports four colors, a 4-bit file supports 16 colors, an 8-bit file supports 256 colors and a 24-bit file supports 16 million colors. A grayscale image is an 8-bit file, with 256 increments between black and white. The higher the color depth supported by a file, the more space the file takes up on disk.


Bitmap graphic

Bitmaps are images made up of an array of rectangular dots ("pixels"). They are created in imaging programs, such as Corel PHOTO-PAINT, or when a paper document is scanned.

Some features not availble in GIF format are Truecolor images(up to 48 bits per pixel), Grayscale images of up to 16 bits per pixel, Full alpha channel(general transparency masks, Gamma brightness indication, better detection of file corruption and faster load time in progressive display mode.
