Types of Images 
An image is an electronic representation of a text document, a photograph, a line drawing, or other 
graphical entity. You can create an image by scanning a printed page, a photograph, a drawing, by 
saving a fax, or by creating an image with a drawing or graphic-design program. 
After a page of text is scanned and saved, it takes on the properties of an image file, and can no 
longer be opened with a word processor or text editor. 
Image File Formats 
Images are saved as image files, which use file name extensions such as .TIF , .BMP , .JPG , and 
.AWD . The extension indicates the format used to store the image. 
Some formats, such as .BMP and .JPEG, contain just one image per file. 
 
Single Image File 
Other formats, such as .TIFF and .AWD, are similar to a book. They contain one or more pages 
with each page holding a single image. 
 
Multiple Image File 
Because image files are standard Windows files, you can use Windows commands to perform 
operations such as: 
• 
Organizing files into folders  
• 
Attaching an image file to an e-mail message  
• 
Copying, renaming, or deleting files  
• 
Printing or faxing files  
Image Documents 
An image document is a collection of one or more images that are logically related. A simple 
image document might be a blank form, scanned and saved in an image file format.
