[comp.graphics] An Easy Image Format

sloderb@mailer.cc.fsu.edu (Mike Sloderbeck) (03/18/91)

Given the large number of formats and format conversion programs:
 For a 24 bit RGB image which will ultimately go to an unspecified slide
  recorder,
   What is the easiest format to use for *creating an original image* such
   that (of course) it can actually be converted?

Thanks

PBM??  :->

Short of that, probably RAW format (no header, 1 file for each color plane,
Left to right, top to bottom)

24-bit targa would be easy enough once you get past the header.           

Just my suggestions.
