Comparing Formats for Still Image Digitizing: Part One | The Signal: Digital Preservation
The Still Image Working Group within the Federal Agencies Digitization Guidelines Initiative (FADGI) recently posted a comparison of a few selected digital file formats.  We sometimes call these target formats: they are the output format that you reformat to.  In this case, we are comparing formats suitable for the digitization of historical and cultural materials that can be reproduced as still images, such as books and periodicals, maps, and photographic prints and negatives.

This activity runs in parallel with an effort in the Audio-Visual Working Group to compare target formats for video reformatting, planned for posting in the next few weeks.  Meanwhile, there is a third activity pertaining to preservation strategies for born-digital video.  The findings and reports from all three efforts will be linked from the format-compare page cited above.
