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.
