Targa Files (*.tga) |
This file format supports 8-bit to 32-bit pixel images. In 32-bits, 24-bits are used for color, and the last 8-bits form an “alpha” channel that is used for per pixel transparency/opacity.
This program supports the industry standard targa file format in both compressed and uncompressed variations. However, the "true color" 16-bit format is not supported specifically because there is only 5 bits (32 variations) of information available to each color plane, making it inadequate for serious image analysis purposes. However, the 24 and 32-bit "true color" formats are supported (alpha channel information is not used in 32-bit pixel mode)
Supported Modes:
32-bit color (compressed & uncompressed)
24-bit color (compressed & uncompressed)
8-bit grayscale (compressed & uncompressed)
8-bit palette (compressed & uncompressed)
