IDEAS
Binary IDEAS picture files.

Colors	Gray scale, RGB, YUV. 8 or 12 bits per color (2-16 bits in lossless mode).
Compression	Baseline, sequential, progressive, and lossless modes are supported.
Import	All supported modes. If a JPEG image embedded in another format (DICOM, NITF, etc) EasyCopy reads the JPEG part correctly, but headers belonging to the host format are skipped.
Export	All supported modes. JFIF application markers are inserted if the selected options conform to JFIF.

JPEG 2000
ISO international standard 15444-1, "Information technology — JPEG 2000 image coding system".

Colors	Gray scale or RGB. 8 per color.
Compression	Reversible and irreversible wavelet compressions are supported.
Import	All valid modes and progression orders.
Export	LRCP progression order, 5 resolution levels.

PBM
Portable Bitmap family of image formats. Includes PGM (Portable Gray Map), PPM (Portable Pixel Map), and PNM (Portable Anymap). PNM is a common name for any of the other members of the family.

Compression	None.
Encoding	ASCII or binary.
Import	All supported modes.
Export	RGB, binary encoding.
