Picsel BITMAP IMAGE File Format Support

Picsel Image File Format Support Page

PNG

The Portable Network Graphic (PNG) format, does not use any patented

or proprietary methods, and is intended as a replacement for GIF. Its

compression is good for cartoons and diagrams; less so for photographs.

PNG supports progressive rendering using two dimensional interlacing,

alpha-channel transparency, as well as gamma correction and indexed

colour. It supports up to 48 bits of full colour or 16 bits of grey-scale,

per pixel. The related MNG format supports animation.
