Victor reads all TGA files. Victor writes 24-bit TGA files. For document storage the TIFF format includes the efficient Group 3 and very efficient Group 4 compression schemes. TIFF is probably the most widely used of all file formats. Victor reads single image and multipage TIFF image files.
Additional options are multipage storage of several images and scanner resolution information.
The image data is stored in rows where the first row of data corresponds to the top of the image. There is no header information or palette data stored in the file. To successfully use a raw data file you must know the image width and allocate an image of that width to hold the data. The common file type used for raw data is BIF, which stands for binary image file. Victor reads any file and interprets it as 8-bit grayscale image data.
