Description | PNG – is a scan-line graphic format developed as an alternative to GIF, which had a commercial license. Althought they are both raster image types. PNG is based on the best features of the predecessor, including lossless compression and transparent background support. The PNG technology ensures the preservation of all stages of editing and the restoration of the step with the preservation of quality. However, it does not allow to save several pictures in one file at once, which limits its use in the development of animated images. |
Technical details | The PNG extension was proposed as a tool that helps to transfer and store images on the World Wide Web. The technology is limited to an 8-bit transparency channel, so you can adjust the colors from opaque to transparent. It supports 24-bit RGB colors, matching images and shades of gray. However, as a non-professional format, PNG can not display other color spaces. Most programs allow to open such files, they can also run in any browser. Images are different in small weight with good quality. |

Description | In digital photography, the Raw file format is like the negative of conventional photography. The file holds unaltered pixel information captured by the sensors of a digital camera. A digital camera’s memory card can carry the file either in the Raw format or by changing it to JPEG or TIFF format. A particular RAW format does not exist; because each company has produced its own formats altering the characteristics from one camera to another. |
Technical details | Raw image files are superior to JPG or PNG since the input is directly from the camera sensors. The integrity of a file is reduced during compression, which can be avoided by using Raw files. Naturally, this leads to Raw files being comparatively larger. |
