File formats that PhotoDraw can export
 
Applies to
Microsoft PhotoDraw® 2000
Format Description What happens to the file that you export
BMP (bitmap) Windows Bitmap PhotoDraw supports all Windows and OS/2 bitmaps, including RLE (Run Length Encoded) bitmaps and DIB (device-independent bitmaps).
GIF (bitmap) Graphics Interchange Format PhotoDraw supports versions GIF87a (including interlacing) and GIF89a (including interlacing and transparency).
JPEG (bitmap) Joint Photographic Experts Group PhotoDraw supports version 6.0 of the JFIF (JPEG File Interchange Format) but not JTIF (JPEG Tagged Interchange Format) and CMYK (cyan-magenta-yellow-black) JPEG file formats.
MIX (bitmap) Microsoft PictureIt! PhotoDraw fully supports files created in Microsoft Picture It! 2.0 or Picture It! 99 and saved in MIX file format.

Notes

  • PhotoDraw 2000 version 1 does not support PhotoDraw version 2 MIX files.
  • PhotoDraw 2000 version 1 does not support for Picture It! 2000 MIX files.
PCX (bitmap) PC Paintbrush PhotoDraw supports all versions of PCX file formats through ZSoft Version 3.0, with support for 256-color images. This is the common interchange format used by Microsoft Windows Paintbrush.

Note   The filter that allows you to export .pcx files is not installed by default. If you want to install .pcx files, reinstall PhotoDraw, and check the PCX filter.
PNG (bitmap) Portable Network Graphics PhotoDraw exports all files conforming to the Portable Network Graphics Tenth Specification (Version 1.0).
TGA (bitmap) Truevision Targa PhotoDraw supports all TGA (Truevision Targa) file formats with up to 32 bits per pixel.

Note   The filter that allows you to import .tga files is not installed by default. If you want to install .tga files, reinstall PhotoDraw and check the TGA filter.
TIFF (bitmap) Tagged Image File Format PhotoDraw supports all TIF formats that conform to TIFF Specification Revision 5.0 and 6.0, Part 1: Baseline TIFF, including monochrome, grayscale, palette color, and RGB True Color images. Single 8-bit alpha channel stored with an RGB True Color image is correctly handled, as are CMYK images saved with the .tif extension.

Note  The filter does not support multiple alpha channels (stored as subfiles) or alpha channels that don't have 8 bits per pixel.
