	Graphics file format summary - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Vector format for Adobe Illustrator (originally a subset of PostScript, if an appropriate file header was present).
		TGA is the native format of Truevision Inc.'s TARGA boards, which were some of the first graphic cards for IBM-compatible PCs to support truecolor display.
		Stores vector graphics and raster graphics as a sequence of commands to be issued to the graphics layer of the Microsoft Windows operating system.

	University Graphics -- About File Formats
		A significant disadvantage is that raster images are much more dependent on resolution, which is a factor of their physical size often expressed in dots-per-inch (dpi), and they generally cannot be resized larger without diminishing their quality.
		Although the Photoshop format is a proprietary format, due to its prevalence as a standard image-editing application, it is an extremely useful format for exchange.
		The PSD format is primarily a raster format that provides extended support for features such as layering, alpha channels, true spot color, vector type and paths, and many other features.

	GFF Format Summary: Intergraph Raster File Format
		The INGR format was officially released to the public in 1991 and supports a bewildering variety of raster data formats and compression methods, including tiling and multiple overviews at various resolutions.
		DataTypeCode indicates the format of the raster data and method of data compression used and is a required field.
		Several raster data formats (specifically 27, 30 31, 32 67, 68, and 69) should never include scan line headers, as their presence would be considered corruption of the compressed raster data.

	NewsForge \| Debate arises over an open raster graphics format (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		The goal of an open interchange format would be to move "complex" raster image documents between multiple applications, preserving high-level structural elements like layers, groups, masks, and paths, permitting access to metadata, and supporting image data from a multitude of bit-depths and color spaces.
		An oft-mentioned second choice, the GIMP's XCF format, is supported by a number of free software programs, but was not designed for interchange or extensibility, and is likely to be replaced in the not-too-distant future anyway.
		But the proposed format is not likely to wither away; Berger and Rempt are certain to propel their ideas forward, if for no other reason than they need a new native format for Krita.

	Graphics Formats
		Raster graphics is about bitmaps - representation of an image as a matrix of dots or pixels in color or grayscale.
		Currently, the best known vector graphics format is SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) which is an XML-based language covering vector primitives, images and text.
		Typically, vector graphics has to be converted to raster format when it is time to display the image on a computer monitor or to print it.

	Image Formats
		Where the Meta/Vector formats have it over Raster is that they are more than a simple grid of colored dots.
		Vector formats can contain only vector data whereas Meta files, as is implied by the name, can contain multiple formats.
		GIF, which stands for "Graphic Interchange Format," was first standardized in 1987 by CompuServe, although the patent for the algorithm (mathematical formula) used to create GIF compression actually belongs to Unisys.

		As a broad, general statement, when you are creating raster format files, you will have better results with a raster program.
		If you will not need the raster image at a larger size than it is originally, and do not have to edit the color, you can import the raster image and incorporate that image into your new design.

		People who design with a lot of texture from the beginning may find no real benefit to using vectors, since raster programs are far superior for texture and 3D effects like drop shadows or embossing.
		However, we are so far from universal recognition of this format, that it is still accurate to say that only raster images apply for Web development.
		When exporting from a vector program to a raster format, you will be asked to specify the resolution, since vector programs work without regard to resolution.
