Bibble 5 read and write many different image formats, each with different qualities and different indented uses.
Readable Image Formats
from a vast array of digital cameras are supported. Bibble Labs must decode and profile each new camera that comes to market, as such the list of supported RAW File formats is always growing. Updates to for newer cameras are available at http://bibblelabs.com/b5.

Writable Image Formats
Bibble 5 can create images in the following formats:
File Type
|
Filename Extension
|
Bit Depth
|
Comments

JPEG
|
JPG, JPEG
|
8 Bit
|
JPEG files are the most common image files, and are ideal for sharing on the web, by email, or for sending to online printing facilities. JPEG files are limited to 8-bit color, and are compressed by a user-selectable amount.
Bibble uses a 0-100 scale to set the JPEG compression level. A setting of 100 will produce a very large file that will show virtually zero compression artifacts. A setting of 50 will produce quite visible artifacts, but will also result in a much smaller file. Bibble defaults to a setting of 80 for Proofs, and 90 for Full Size JPEG's, which provide a good balance of file size and image quality.

TIFF
|
TIF, TIFF
|
8 Bit or 16 Bit
|
TIFF files use only lossless compression, ensuring that 100% of the detail in the original image is preserved in the output image. TIF files can be either 8 Bit or 16 Bit, and produce very large file sizes.

About Image Compression
Image Compression is the process of lowering the file size of an image to allow more images to be stored in a fixed amount of space. Image compression can either be Lossy or Lossless.
Lossy Compression means that data is lost during the compression process. Data that is lost is never able to be retrieved, meaning that the compressed image will lack detail and image information that was present in the original image. Small amounts of lossy compression (like JPEG Compression level of 90 or higher) produce images that are very similar in detail and image quality to the original image, while more aggressive compression settings (lower numbers, like 50 or 70) will produce noticeable compression artifacts and detail loss.
Lossless Compression reduces the file size with no loss of data, and therefore no loss of image quality.
