Targa (TGA) format
The TGA format is designed for use on systems that use the
Truevision
®
video board. If you are saving artwork in this format, you have the option of
choosing the resolution and color depth you want.
Tagged-Image File Format (TIFF)
TIFF is used to exchange files between applications
and computer platforms. TIFF is a flexible bitmap image format that is supported by
virtually all paint, image-editing, and page-layout applications. Also, virtually all desktop
scanners can produce TIFF images.
TIFF supports RGB, CMYK, and grayscale color models. It also supports LZW compression,
a lossless compression method that does not discard detail from the image.
When you export Illustrator artwork in TIFF, you can choose an RGB, CMYK, or grayscale
color model and define the image resolution. To compress the file to a smaller size
automatically, click the LZW Compression option.
Windows Meta File (WMF) format
The Windows Meta File format is an intermediate
exchange format for 16-bit Windows applications. WMF format is supported by almost all
Windows drawing and layout programs. It has limited vector graphics support, and
wherever possible EMF format should be used in place of WMF format.
