Supported File Types

Note: The TRIAL Version only loads images saved in the proprietary *.IMB file format.
To help people to evaluate properly Bersoft Image Measurement we can convert some images (no more than 3 of them) to the format that the Trial version handles, with no charges.
Send the images to be converted to: . We can process emails with attachments not bigger than 1 MB.

File formats for loading and saving images:

• Portable Network Graphic (.PNG). This format offers lossless compression and good compatibility with other applications.
  It is the preferred image format for grayscale and color images.

• TIFF Bitmap (.TIF .TIFF). Uncompressed TIFF files can be loaded, but they will be always saved as compressed TIFF files.
  Multipage TIFF files are supported but only for loading, when saving only the actual page will be saved.

• Windows Bitmap: (.BMP .DIB .RLE).

• JPEG (.JPG .JPEG .JPE).

• JBIG (.JBG .JBIG). This format offers the best lossless compression for black and white images, but not many programs can handle it.

• PaintBrush: (.PCX).

• Compuserve Graphics Interchange (.GIF).Animated files can be viewed frame by frame, but when saving only the actual frame will be saved.

• Targa Bitmap: (.TGA .DIB .RLE .TARGA .VDA .ICB .VST .PIX)

File formats for loading images only:

• Bersoft Image format (IMB). This is the only format supported for the TRIAL version.

• Video files (MPEG, MPG, ASF, AVI, WMV). See Frame Grabber.

• Medical Images. Loads uncompressed, compressed and color DICOM images (RLE, palette, RGB, YBR, lossy JPEG, lossless JPEG). Single and multiple frame images are supported.
  Reads Analyze, DICOM, GE LX, Genesis, Interfile, Siemens Magnetom Vision, Siemens Somatom and NEMA formats

• Kodak Photo-CD (PCD). Can open 192 x 128, 384 x 256, 768 x 512, 1536 x 1024 and 3072 x 4028 pixels images.

• Photoshop (PSD, PDD).

• JPEG 2000 (.JP2 .JPC).

• RAW digital photos: Midrange and high-end digital cameras offer Raw, unprocessed CCD data files, as an alternative to JPEG files. RAW files have more quality and file size than JPEG files. Typically they are saved with the following file extensions:
  .RAW .NEF .CRW .CR2 .MRW .RAF .ERF .3FR .DCR .DNG .PEF .X3F .ARW .SR2 .MEF .ORF.

Bersoft Image Measurement supports RAW files from many digital cameras but not the RAW files generated by Adobe Photoshop.
