Description🔵 PGM file format was developed alongside the open-source Netpbm package of graphics program. Developed by Jef Poskanzer in 1988, PGM was a format for storing grayscale images and supporting bitmap. The PGM file format is forward compatible with recent graphics editing software like Corel PaintShop Pro X4, ACDSee Photo Manager 14, and ACD Systems Canvas 15. Being a plain text format, PGM can be edited using any available text editor, and thus survives the quintessential changes that image files undergo when transmitted via email. PGM files come in two types, only differentiated by magic numbers – P2 and P5, which helps graphics editor software identify the data encryption standard.
Technical details🔵 Portable Gray Map Images can be stored away with each pixel taking up memory space of either 8 or 16 bits. There are two major sections in the plain text string of a PGM file – the header and image data. The header starts with the magic number, followed by characters indicating image width, image height, maximum grayscale shade value – never exceeding 65.536, all sandwiched by whitespaces. Though used mainly on the UNIX-based operating system, being open-source has earned the PGM file compatibility with macOS and Windows.

Description🔵 .bmp (Bitmap Image File) The .bmp format, also known as bitmap, is a raster graphics image file format used to store digital images. This format was developed by Microsoft for use on Windows, and it is widely supported on both Windows and macOS systems. BMP files are typically large because they contain a detailed, uncompressed representation of the image data. This format is suitable for storing high-quality digital photos, though it's not as commonly used for web or email due to its large file size compared to formats like JPEG or PNG.
Technical details🔵 The `.bmp` format, Bitmap, is a simple raster graphics format developed by Microsoft. Here are the key technical details: - Pixel Storage: No compression, resulting in large file sizes. - Color Depth: Supports various depths, 24-bit offers truecolor. - Uncompressed: Mostly used uncompressed. - Palette: Uses color palette for lower depths. - Header Information: Contains image details. - Alpha Channels: Some support transparency. - Device Independence: Consistent appearance across devices. - Simplicity: Easy to read/write but lacks modern features. - Compatibility: Widely supported but has larger file sizes. - No Metadata: Doesn't support extensive metadata. - Rare for Web: Rarely used due to large size. - Applications: Common in Windows for wallpaper and basic editing. `.bmp` is simple and compatible but not optimized for file size or web use, declining in favor of more efficient formats.
