Overview |
This file extension is capable of storing only monochromatic images that are black and white. This format has become now outdated and it was used by early mobile phones for exchanging and storing the monochromatic pictures that were sent using SMS messaging service. The successor to this is PNG which supports colours. As mobile phones have come up with improved and enhanced features that is why this format has been largely replaced by full-colour image and video formats. This extension has many likenesses with BMP files that is the standard bitmap images. WBMP does not support grayscale images as well as colour images. The size of the file is small and is always kept in reduced size. |
Technical description |
In this WBMP format, pictures are created by using pixels in which 0 (zero) is assigned to black pixel and 1 (one) is for a white pixel. There are certain fields which are present in this file extension. The field names are as follows along with their purpose. The first one is type, it tells about the type of an image and zero is fixed for monochrome bitmaps. The next is a fixed header and it is always reserved with 0 value. Then comes the width and this defines the breadth of an image in pixels. The second last is the height and it represents the height of a photo in pixels. The last one is data and it tells about the data bytes arranged in rows. |

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. |
