Changes to images take place faster, because only the affected tiles have to be adjusted before processing. Many of the technical benefits of the FPX format assist all users, regardless of their individual needs. The image connects the workflow. Each FPX format file is a transportable image object than can be used by digital cameras, scanners, scanning services, applications, printers, printing services, on-line services, and databases. This eliminates the need to convert from interchange formats to proprietary image formats, reducing the application memory requirements by up to 95 percent.
Printing is predictable.
You get the results you expect when printing FPX format files from FPX-enabled applications. There are no unpleasant color surprises, because all the source and color information present at capture is stored in the FPX format file using a calibrated color space, and maintained throughout image manipulation and printing. Using pictures takes less RAM and disk space. Edits are stored as viewing parameters that the application automatically applies to any resolution. Thus, the memory and disk space required to edit images is greatly reduced.
