  .bmp (24-bit color bitmap file format). Bitmap, or .bmp, is typically used for storing bit mapped graphic files.
JPG
  .jpg (24-bit color Joint Photographic Experts Group file format). .jpg is a graphics format which can be highly compressed. This compression can result in permanent loss of image quality. The application uses the .jpg software written by the Independent JPEG Group.
GIF
  .gif (Graphics Interchange File format). .gif is a standard graphics format (256 color) used to store bit mapped graphic files. For .gif files, this application uses LZW compression/decompression licensed under U.S. patent No 4,558,302 and foreign counterparts. The purchase or use of LZW graphics capability in a licensed product does not authorize or permit an end user to use any other product or perform any other method or activity involving use of LZW unless the end user is separately licensed in writing by Unisys. End user should not modify, copy, or distribute LZW compression/decompression capability
TIFF
  .tif (24-bit color Tag Image File format). .tif is a format of choice for storing images with lossless compression. It provides better quality, but larger files. This format is widely supported across platforms (PC, Mac, UNIX). This application uses LZW compression/decompression licensed under U.S. patent No 4,558,302 and foreign counterparts. The purchase or use of LZW graphics capability in a licensed product does not authorize or permit an end user to use any other product or perform any other method or activity involving use of LZW unless the end user is separately licensed in writing by Unisys. End user should not modify, copy, or distribute LZW compression/decompression capability.
