What is advantage of using bitmap images?

Answer 1

Raster images (such as bitmaps) are stored as individual pixels, each with their own color.

----------------------------

To add to the earlier point made by a individual of, shall we say, few words, I have composed my own answer.

Bitmap images are a collection of bits that form an image. The image consists of a matrix of individual dots (or pixels) that all have their own color (described using bits, the smallest possible units of information for a computer).

Bitmaps images are mainly used in photos due to their small file sizes, due to the fact that it only uses 0 and 1 to store their information. However, when magnified the pixels remain the same proportion and do not create more bits to compensate, resulting in you just getting a load of coloured cube with no particular correlation.

Basically if you want a picture that you're not going to magnify or change about much, a bitmap is right for you.

Answer 2

The BMP file format is a simple format used to store images like bitmaps. It is widely supported by the operating systems. It supports some simple lossless compression, can be either palette or up to RGB32 based, supports transparency, only 2D images. Due to the large image file and the availability of better formats like PNG, TIFF its use remains mostly restricted to the OS scope or as a temporary format when exchanging images.

Answer 3

Your question probably need answer: continuous tone images. Continuous tone images are ususally photographs captured with camera and are always bitmap or raster images. Bitmap or raster images means that image consist of pixels. Every bitmap image have fixed number of pixels. Every pixel have its own position and color in image.

Answer 4

for creating desktop icons. save it as Bitmap 24-Bit then (File).ico

Answer 5

bitmap means that contain pixels in other words-picture

Answer 6

nevr - use tiff
