Supported picture files

Picture files which can be handled in PHOTOfunSTUDIO are in the following formats.

Still picture

JPEG format

Extensions:

.JPG, .JPEG, .JPE

JPEG is an abbreviation for Joint Photographic Experts Group, and derives from the designation of the

committee that has developed this compression format. This file format adopts the data compression

method that thins out color data from a colored image to the extent that the human eye cannot discern.

BMP format

Extensions:

.BMP

BMP is an abbreviation of Bitmap, and an image format most commonly used in Windows

●

Some BMP files with special formats are excluded.

TIFF format

Extensions:

.TIF, .TIFF

TIFF is an abbreviation of Tagged Image File Format.

Although the data is compressed, it can be regenerated after being saved (lossless compression).

This means that the picture quality does not deteriorate even when the data is re-saved.

RAW format

Extensions:

.RAW, .RW2

This is raw picture data that is recorded with a digital camera and has not been processed.

If JPEG image data for thumbnails is contained in a RAW file, a thumbnail is displayed in List Mode.

RAW files containing no thumbnail information will be displayed as [RAW] and are incompatible.

Motion picture

Motion JPEG format

(MOV motion picture)

Extensions:

.MOV

QuickTime motion picture files are the target files.

(QuickTime VR motion pictures which are created with panorama stitching are played with QuickTime

Player.)
