-โ€˜image file formats’ are standardized means of ‘organizing’ + ‘storing’ digital images-

.

(‘image files’ are composed of ‘digital data’ in 1 of these formats that can be ‘rasterized’ for use on a ‘computer display’ or ‘printer’)

.

(an ‘image file format’ may store ‘data’ in 3 ways…)

‘uncompressed’

‘compressed’

*’vector’ formats*
(?)

(neither ‘compressed’ nor ‘uncompressed’)
(a ‘steady state’ in terms of ‘file size’)

.

(once ‘rasterized’, an ‘image’ becomes a ‘grid’ of ‘pixels’, each of which has a number of ‘bits’ to designate its ‘color equal’ to the ‘color depth’ of the device displaying it)
