Description	🔵 Portable pixmap images can be stored using the PPM format, which is basic, for example, color (PPM), grayscale (PGM), and black and white (PBM). A portable pixmap can provide a hallway representation of information in the conversion process of bitmap image files of the three types mentioned between different platforms. Jeff Poskanzerom developed the PPM format.
Technical details	🔵 PPM files comprise sequences of a single or more PPM image. Data, padding, and limits do not exist before or after or in the middle of images. Every PPM comprises a single magic number used in identifying the type of file; the magic number for a PPM image is the two-character P6, whitespace (blanks, TABs, CRs, and LFs), and width presented as ASCII characters in decimal. It also comprises whitespace again, which is shown in ASCII decimal. Whitespace, the color value at a maximum (Maxval), is in decimal form, and it should be greater than zero but less than 65536. It is also composed of another single whitespace character, which is on another line. Lastly, it is composed of a raster of height rows found in reverse chronological order. The rows are comprised of width pixels in a left to right format. The samples represented have a pure binary nature, which is by one or two bytes. I byte has a Maxval of less than 256; otherwise, it is 2 bytes. The first byte is the most relevant. The straightforward format is another version of the PPM that exists but is most uncommon.

CompuServe Graphics Interchange Format

Extension	.gif
Category	🔵 images
Programs	🔵 Adobe Photoshop 🔵 Apple Preview 🔵 Corel Paint Shop Pro 🔵 Microsoft Windows Photo Gallery Viewer
Description	🔵 .xcf (eXperimental Computing Facility) The .xcf format is the native image file format of the GIMP software (GNU Image Manipulation Program). It's used for storing the entire composition including layers, channels, paths, and other elements that are part of a GIMP imageThe XCF format is designed to preserve all information GIMP can contain about an image; however, due to its specific nature, it's not widely supported outside of GIMP. For sharing, images in XCF format are often exported to more universally recognized formats like PNG or JPEG.
Technical details	🔵 The GIF (Graphics Interchange Format), introduced by CompuServe in 1987, is a bitmap image format with these characteristics: - Color Limitation: Supports only 256 colors, making it suitable for graphics or logos but not for detailed photographs. - Animation Support: Stores multiple images for animated effects, popular for looping animations and web graphics. - Lossless Compression: Uses LZW compression, reducing file size without quality loss, effective for uniform color images. - Transparency Support: Allows background transparency in images. - Interlacing Option: Offers an interlaced format for quicker loading on slow connections. - Standardization: Original version (87a) in 1987, enhanced version (GIF89a) in 1989 with animation and transparency improvements. - Aspect Ratio: Lacks inherent aspect ratio support. - Applications: Commonly used online for animation and transparency, less so for high-quality photography due to color limits. - No Audio Support: Cannot embed sound. - Metadata: Limited metadata compared to formats like JPEG. - Browser Support: Broadly supported in web browsers and image viewers. - Patent Issues: LZW compression was patented, leading to controversy and PNG development; patent expired in 2003. - File Extensions: .gif or .GIF. Mainly used for web graphics, animations, and simple art, GIF is efficient for images with fewer colors but not ideal for detailed or high-quality images.
