Overview
These files are also termed as Radiance HDR or HDRI. This format is used to store raster images or digital photos. In this, there is a grid of pixels where every pixel depicts a solo color within the image. Additionally, it has the ability to enrich the color and bring brightness to the pictures. Furthermore, it works well while processing the dark shadows and also on the washed-out areas of a picture. Hence, it is very useful to capture real-world scenes that have high brightness or direct sunlight and as well as extremely shady area or fainted nebulae. These images are the result of numerous different and narrow range exposures of the same matter.
Technical description
HDR images offer the same luminance(an amount of light that is either emitted from or passes through or reflected from a particular area) that of the human visual system. ‘Stops’- Exposure Value differences are used to measure the dynamic range of photography. To double the amount of light, there should be an increase of one exposure value or one stop. Contrary, to decrease the amount of light to half of its value, there should be a decrease of one EV or one stop. Consequently, the darkest parts of shadows require high exposures when something in detail is to be revealed and low exposures are needed when there is a high level of brightness. It uses bracketing which means several shots are taken of the same subject using varied camera settings. Then these images are merged using a photo manipulation program to produce a single image.

Overview
BMP format is used for Raster images. These images contain a grid of pixels and each pixel further depicts an individual colour within the image. In this, there can be varying levels of colour depths per pixel, as this criterion is entirely based on the file header which tells about the number of bits per pixel. The images stored is often uncompressed when they are 16 bpp and 32bpp. It is capable of storing only 2-dimensional images( both monochrome-single colour and colourful, with numerous colour depths). A user does not require a graphics adapter to view this file. It is not a popular format these days as it takes lots of time to upload, send and download, due to its large size.
Technical description
BMP file format comes up with the option of data compression, colour profiles and alpha channels. Alpha composting results in partial or fully transparent images which are done by incorporating or mixing one image with a background. Exchanging bitmaps between devices and applications is possible due to a unique representation of colour bitmaps of distinct colour depths, defined by Microsoft. That is why it is termed as a device-independent bitmap file format(DIBs). Additionally, it has both fixed-size and variable-sized structures. This format follows structures in the order given ahead- bitmap file header(stores general information), DIB header(Contains detailed information including pixel format), Extra bitmasks(Define pixel format), colour table( define colours used), Gap 1(Structure alignment), a Pixel array(Actual values of a pixel), Gap 2(Structure alignment)and ICC colour profile(Colour management).
