File formats - Overview

Data in a computer file can be stored using several systems. The system that any one file uses is known as its file format. Different types of files, such as bitmap, vector, sound, text, etc., use different formats, but even within a type group, there can be dozens of different formats available. Formats are frequently referred to by the extension that gets added to the file when saving it in that format, e.g., .CMX, .BMP, .DOC, .AVI, .TIF, etc. In Windows 95-based applications, different formats use different icons when listed in file managers and dialog boxes, such as Corel PHOTO-PAINT's Open dialog box.

File formats are often created for use by a specific application. For example, images created in CorelDRAW are stored as .CDR files. Some formats are more generic, such as the .TXT format, which is an ASCII file and not associated with any specific application.


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.

RLE, LZW, and CCITT are lossless compression techniques. JPEG is a lossy technique and is used mainly to compress color and grayscale continuous-tone images. The information that is discarded during compression does not seriously affect the image quality.


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.

When you save or export a file, you can often specify what color depth you want to save the image to. If you have few colors in your original image, saving to a higher color depth (e.g., 16 color to 256 color) should produce an image whose colors are very similar to the original. However, if your original image has many colors, and you convert it to a lower color depth (e.g., 24 bit color to 256 color), the file will create a palette of colors and use combinations of these colors to attempt to simulate the original color of the pixel. The colors in the palette will depend on the colors in the original image.

Different applications support different color depths. As well, some file formats support only certain numbers of colors. When deciding what file format to use when saving a file, you should consider any color limitations of the file format and the application you'll be using with the file.

Note

A file format that supports a large number of colors may not necessarily support all color depths less than its maximum. For example, a format may support 24-bit color, but not black and white.


Corel Filter Manager - overview

For an application to read a file that has been saved in a specific file format, it requires a translator to decode the format information and open the file. This translator can be embedded into the application, but with the dozens of file formats available, it would require an enormous amount of memory.

The Corel Filter Manager contains translators for all the file formats supported by all the Corel applications. For example, if you're working in CorelDRAW and you wish to open a file that has been saved in a format other than .CDR, the filter manager translates the file so that the program can open it. If you want to save an image in a format other than .CDR, the filter manager translates the file into the other format before saving it.

Corel applications that create documents, such as CorelDRAW and Corel PRESENTS, have their own native file formats that they use to store document information. The Open and Save/Save As commands are used to load and save this information. The Import command is used to load individual images that have been saved in non-native formats into an open document. The Export command is used to save images in non-native formats.

For applications that do not create documents, such as Corel PHOTO-PAINT and Corel OCR-TRACE, the Open and Save/Save As commands are used to load and save images.


Importing files

Corel applications support various file formats, but only some of them are native to the application. If you want to read a file that has a non-native format, you must import that file.

The Import command is located in the File menu. When you choose the command, a dialog box appears where you can choose the drive and folder where the file is saved. If you know the format of the file you want, you can choose it from the File As Type list to display only the files with that extension. To choose the file to import, double-click the filename in the display window.


Exporting files

Corel applications can save files in various file formats, but only some of them are native to the application. If you want to save a file in a non-native format, you must export that file.

The Export command is located in the File menu. When you choose the command, a dialog box appears where you can choose the drive and folder where the file is to be saved. You can choose a file type from the list box and the format's extension appears in the File Name box. You can give the file a name by double-clicking the filename in the display window.

16 shades of gray = 4 bits

256 shades of gray = 8 bits

16 colors = 4 bits

256 colors = 8 bits

16 million colors = 24 bits

CMYK image = 32 bits

Not all levels of color or grayscale are supported by all the bitmap formats. If you have chosen a bitmap format that does not support a gray or color format, the option will not appear in the list box. For example, SCITEX CT is only exportable in CMYK, 32-bit format.


Dithers the colors and gray shades in the file. Dithering may produce better results when you use fewer colors than the original image. If the image contains fountain fills or color blends, dithering can cause obvious banding. Here are some guidelines to help you decide whether to dither the bitmap:

When you are importing 16 or 256 colors or grays, use dithering.

When you intend to scale the bitmap in another application, dithering is not recommended.


Specifies the resolution (in dots per inch) for bitmaps. Choose one of the preset resolutions from the list box or choose Custom and type or choose the resolution in the DPI box.

Note
As the resolution increases, so does the size of the file and the time required to print the image.


Specifies the dimensions of the bitmap. Choose one of the preset sizes from the list box or choose Custom and type the dimensions in the Width and Height boxes. If a size is not selected, the original size of the image is used.


Compresses the imported file so that it takes less disk space. Compressed files take more time to save and load. Compression is optional for some bitmap formats; for others, compression is always performed.


Shows the estimated size of the imported file before compression. Compressed files will be smaller than the value displayed.


Returns to the settings that were in effect when you opened the dialog box.


Enable to maintain equal horizontal and vertical resolution values. Any value entered in one box will cause the other box to change automatically.


Controls the width of the file in pixels. To change the file width, type (or use the scroll arrows to select) a new value.


Controls the height of the file in pixels. To change the file height, type (or use the scroll arrows to select) a new value.


Type (or use the scroll arrows to select) a new vertical resolution (dpi) value. Resolution refers to the fineness of image detail and the amount of information required to record, store, display and print an image. Resolution is measured in dots per inch (dpi), referring to the number of pixels used to construct an image. Choose a resolution in keeping with the resolution of both your monitor and (if you plan to print an image) printer. When you work with an image that you want to print, choose a resolution close to the maximum dpi output value of your printer, otherwise you may not be able to print much of what you see on screen. If you do not plan to print an image, you can freely choose a higher resolution to maximum image detail. Enter a value in the number box or use the scroll arrows to select a dpi value.

Note
High resolutions require large amounts of disk space.

PCD import dialog


Photo CD dialog box

The Photo CD dialog box lets you specify image resolution and image color depth. You can also enable the Apply Image Enhancement check box which lets you apply color correction to a Photo CD-ROM image before you open the file. The Image Size indicator lets you review the size of the image when changes are made to the image resolution or color depth. Choosing the proper color mode and image resolution size is very important. Use the following guidelines when you are choosing a color mode and image resolution value.

Color Mode
Color mode affects the size of the file, the system's memory, and the quality of the printed image. It is important to choose a color mode that meets your end requirements. Choose Black and White to create Line Art and two-color images. Choose Gray Scale to create duotones and to print to a Black and White laser printer. Choose 16 Color or 256 Color to create non-photographic images and to print to a low-end color printer (or if the system's memory is low). Choose 24-Bit Color to create high-quality photographic color images and to print to an RGB or CMY printer. Choose 32-Bit Color to create professional-quality images and to print to print to a prepress or a CMYK printer.

Resolution
Image resolution defines the quantity of information in a given area and is expressed in dots per inch (dpi). The higher the resolution, the sharper and more detailed the image will be. It is important to remember, however, that as you increase the resolution of an image, the memory that is required to create the image is significantly increased. It is important to choose an image resolution that suits your needs. For example, if you intend only to display the image on screen, and you have sufficient memory resources, you can use a high image resolution value.It is also important to choose a resolution that is consistent with the maximum dpi capability of your printer when you create an image that you want to print.

Photo CD Image Enhancement dialog box

This Photo CD Image Enhancement dialog box lets you apply color correction to a Photo CD-ROM image before importing it into PHOTO-PAINT. There are two color correction methods: GamutCD and Kodak.

GamutCD
Uses gamut mapping to enhance the color fidelity and tonal ranges of the image which ensures that the colors in a computer image can be reproduced by a printer.

Kodak
Lets you alter color tints, adjust brightness and color saturation, and adjust the contrast.

For more information on the options included in this dialog box, use the What's This? online Help tool.


Image Tab


Displays a drop-down box listing several image sizes (with corresponding resolution values for each) to choose from. Choose the image size you want.

Resolution
Resolution refers to the fineness of image detail and the amount of information required to record, store, display and print an image. Resolution is measured in dots per inch (dpi), referring to the number of pixels used to construct an image. Choose a resolution in keeping with the resolution of both your monitor and (if you plan to print an image) printer. When you work with an image that you want to print, choose a resolution close to the maximum dpi output value of your printer, otherwise you may not be able to print much of what you see on screen. If you do not plan to print an image, you can freely choose a higher resolution to maximum image detail. Enter a value in the number box or use the scroll arrows to select a dpi value.

Note
High resolutions require large amounts of disk space.


Displays a drop down list box from which you choose a color depth for the Photo CD image.

16.7 (24-bit)
Produces maximum image quality. This color depth produces the greatest number of colors. It is the most commonly used in image editing programs.

256 colors (8-bit)
Produces an image with a maximum of 256 colors. You cannot apply PHOTO-PAINT's effects filters to a 256-color image. If you plan to apply effects to a Photo CD image, select 16.7 (24-bit) color.

16 colors (4-bit)
Produces a non-photographic image made up of only 16 colors. Choose 16 colors if you are printing to a low-end color printer that cannot reproduce a large range of color. This will enable you to see what the image will look like when it is printed.

256 grayscale
Produces a grayscale image made up of 256 shades of gray, from white to black. Select this color depth when printing to a standard black and white laser printer. Again, this will enable you to see what the image will look like when it is printed.


Displays the size of the image with the current settings in bytes. This number will change to reflect changes made in the Size and Colors drop-down list boxes.


Displays a sample of the Photo CD image.


GAMUT TAB


Enable to apply GamutCD color correction. The GamutCD color correction method uses gamut mapping to enhance the color fidelity and tonal ranges of the CD image. Gamut mapping ensures that colors in a computer image are reproducible by a printer.


Displays a sample of the Photo CD image.


Enable to apply Kodak color correction. The Kodak color correction method allows you to alter color tints, adjust Brightness and Color Saturation, as well as make adjustments to the level of contrast.


Click to view a thumbnail of the CD image in the Preview Window.


Displays the YCC and RGB color value of the currently selected color from the image. The color swatch displays the color that is being assessed.

YCC
The Y represents the luminance or grayscale values of the image and the C values are the color chrominance values. The YCC color space is similar to the way television broadcast color is transmitted.

RGB
Represents the Red, Green, and Blue color components in the image.


Resets the dialog box options to the default settings (as they were when the dialog box was opened).


Displays the effect the GamutCD settings will have on the image.

Best Preview
Choose Best Preview to obtain an accurate color preview. This option requires more processing time than the Fast Preview option.

Fast Preview
Choose Fast Preview if speed is important to you. The preview quality is not as good as the Best Preview option but requires less processing time.


Choose this option if you have good white elements in the photo. If you do not have a white, disable this option as the Gamut mapping will over-brighten your picture as it maps the lightest elements of your picture to white.

This option will assist GamutCD in enhancing the tonal range of your image and removing color cast. If your white is not pure white you may wish to lower the 255 setting in the number box to the right.


Enter a value to indicate how pure the whitest white should be (255 is pure white).


Choose this option if you have good black elements in the photo. If the image does not have blacks, disable this option as the Gamut mapping will darken your picture as it maps the darkest elements of your picture to black.

This option will assist GamutCD in enhancing the tonal range of your image and removing color cast. If your black is not pure black you may wish to raise the setting in the number box to the right from 0.


Enter a value to indicate how pure the blackest black should be (0 is pure black).


Check this radio button to specify an active area within the image in the view field. This ensures GamutCD will base its color correction on the area of the photo that you are going to use and helps cut out any black borders left over from the original scan.


Check to define neutral colors by clicking on pure whites, blacks and grays within the Active Area.


KODAK TAB


Controls the color tint applied to the Photo CD image. Enter a positive value to increase and a negative value to decrease the image tint.


Controls the brightness and saturation of the image. Enter a positive value to increase and a negative value to decrease the image brightness and contrast.


Enables the Scene Balance Adjustment. This is an adjustment made by the photo-finisher at the time the original image was scanned and preserved on the Photo CD disc.


Enable to verify that the adjustments you have made using the tint, brightness, saturation, contrast, scene balance options are not too extreme. If the changes you've made are too extreme the preview will display out-of-gamut pixels as pure red or pure blue.


Displays a drop-down list box featuring options that let you adjust contrast by pre-set amounts. Choose an item from the list.


JPEG export dialog


Opens a drop-down list featuring two JPEG Format options.

Interchange Format (JPEG/JFIF)
Select this option to save the file to the JPEG format.

TIFF JPEG (JTIF)
Saves the file as a TIFF using JPEG compression.


Opens a drop-down list box featuring three compression methods.

Standard (4:4:4)
JPEG uses Lossy compression. This option loses the least data of the three methods in the compression procession. It is not as compressed as Option 1 (below).

Option 1 (4:1:1)
JPEG uses Lossy compression. This option loses the most data but has the highest compression of the three.

Option 2 (4:2:2)
JPEG uses Lossy compression. This option provides a balanced compromise between the Standard and Option 1 options.


Move the slider bar to define the quality parameters for each compression sub-format type. A high quality setting will always provide less file compression than a lower quality setting.


BMP os/2 export dialog


This file format is compatible with applications and utilities running under OS/2 version 1.3. Does not provide file compression.


This file format is compatible with applications and utilities running under OS/2 versions 2.0 and later. Provides file compression.


TGA export dialog


Choose Normal for standard TGA file export.

Note
Black and white images cannot be saved to the TGA format.


Choose Enhanced to save a 24-bit (RGB) image with a mask. The mask will be saved with the image.

Note
Black and white image cannot be saved to the TGA format.


GIF export dialog


Choose 89a (enhanced) Format to enable interlacing and transparency options.


Choose 87a (normal) Format for standard GIF file export (or when and where 89a Enhanced is not supportable).


Choose Interlaced image to speed up the drawing of an image on-screen later. Interlacing speeds up the redrawing of the image on-screen. This is accomplished by redrawing the image in stages, from low to high-resolution, providing an impression of the image before completely redrawn. This is advantageous when an image is mistakenly selected; the redrawing process can be halted before it is fully redrawn.


Choose Transparent color to choose what color from the image (represented by index values in the color palette below) becomes transparent. This is useful in creating non-rectangular bitmaps. The color selected is masked in the image. Use this option to create unusual effects.


Indicates the index value of the currently selected color in the color palette.


Displays a color palette made up of each color (up to a maximum of 256) in the image. The index value of the selected color is visible in the Index number box.


 CUR import dialog


Select Mask options from the drop-down list boxes below.


Displays a thumbnail of the ICO/CUR file.


Shows the current color that is used for transparent portions of the icon or cursor. Click the color swatch to use a different color. Only the colors used in the icon or cursor are available.


Shows the current color that will be inverted when imposed against the background. Click the color swatch to use a different color. Only the colors used in the icon or cursor are available.


Provides the specifications for the icon or cursor in pixels (for both x and y dimensions) and the number of colors.
