Picture Exchange
The de facto standard for DOS paint programs.
PCX (Picture Exchange) was one of the first widely accepted standards for DOS imaging. Created by ZSoft for their PC Paintbrush software, it became the native format for Windows 3.0 Paintbrush and supported the evolution of PC graphics hardware from monochrome CGA to 256-color VGA and eventually 24-bit TrueColor.
PCX uses a header containing the version, dimensions, and palette information, followed by image data compressed using a simple Run-Length Encoding (RLE) scheme. This scheme was very efficient for the simple graphics of the 80s (large areas of flat color) but is poor for complex photographs. 256-color palettes are often appended at the end of the file.
Established in 1985. It enjoyed a decade of dominance before being displaced by BMP (on Windows), GIF (on the web), and JPEG (for photos). It is now largely obsolete but still recognized by many tools due to its historical significance.
JPEG 2000 Compound Image
JPEG 2000 for multi-layer documents.
JPM (JPEG 2000 Part 6) is a compound image file format. It is designed for storing document images that contain a mix of text and graphics, using a Mixed Raster Content (MRC) model. It allows for different compression methods to be applied to different 'layers' of the image (e.g., sharp edges for text, smooth gradients for photos).
JPM splits an image into multiple layers (e.g., background, foreground mask, foreground color). Each layer can be compressed differently (e.g., JBIG2 for text mask, JPEG 2000 for background photos), optimizing both quality and file size for scanned documents. This is significantly more efficient than compressing an entire scanned page as a single JPEG 2000 image.
Part of the JPEG 2000 standard (ISO/IEC 15444-6), specifically targeting the document archival market.
