| BMP BMP
was developed by Microsoft and is the native graphics format for Windows
users. The images you see when Windows starts up and closes, and the
wallpaper that adorns your desktop, are all in BMP format. BMP tends to
store graphical data inefficiently, so the files it creates are larger
than they need to be. But at least wallpaper file sizes can be reduced
using a technique called run-length encoding. |
