In lossy codecs, the samples of pictures and sounds are taken, then they are cut into smaller segments; they are then transformed into something with a new basis which is also quantized.
Lossy data uses decoded data which is used to predict the current sound sample or image frame. This means that when a file is compressed using lossy the original data cannot be restored from the compressed file.

Lossless compression is where every single bit of data that was in the file remains after the file is uncompressed. All of the information is completely restored. Once it has been reversed it can be used over again for the original data to be reconstructed.]]> 2016-09-20 14:27:59 UTC https://padlet.com/zeeshanlol/n0rij4g2yjis/wish/125093498 Haz654 https://padlet.com/zeeshanlol/n0rij4g2yjis/wish/125095124 What is it?
Lossy compression is a data encoding method that discards partial data. This technique is used to reduce the data size for storage. It also improves the handling and transmitting of content.
How does it compare to Lossless compression?
 Unlike Lossless compression, Lossy compression CANNOT reverse data compression, which enables it to compress a lot more data than lossless techniques.
When is Lossy compression used?
Lossy compression is used to compress a variety of multimedia data including audio, video, images.

For example, it is mostly used in ZIP or GNU formats. The way lossless compression works is it breaks the file into a SMALLER form for transmission or storage and then it will be put back together on the other end so it can be used again, in other words a reversible method.]]> 2016-09-20 14:33:03 UTC https://padlet.com/zeeshanlol/n0rij4g2yjis/wish/125096118 10stagg84 https://padlet.com/zeeshanlol/n0rij4g2yjis/wish/125096270 We use lossless compression for images and audio pieces, RAW, BMP, ZIP, WAV, FLAC, MKV and WMV are all formats of lossless compressed items. There are very few lossless video formats, this is because if we were to use lossless compression for videos, many of them would be consuming way too much space. Usually if you are wanting to print a professionally taken photo you would use lossless compression, whereas if you are uploading to the internet, then it is common to use lossy compression. Also, if you want to listen to music on your phone casually then it is recommended that you use lossy compression rather than lossless, whereas if you want to burn a perfect copy then it is advised that you use lossless compression. Basically, you use lossless compression for files that need everything in the file, e.g exe, source code, ect.]]> 2016-09-20 14:33:25 UTC https://padlet.com/zeeshanlol/n0rij4g2yjis/wish/125096270 y_dhutia https://padlet.com/zeeshanlol/n0rij4g2yjis/wish/125098402 2016-09-20 14:37:53 UTC https://padlet.com/zeeshanlol/n0rij4g2yjis/wish/125098402 Haz654 https://padlet.com/zeeshanlol/n0rij4g2yjis/wish/125109359 Vector formats:
Formats such as AI (Adobe Illustrator) and EPS (Encapsulated Postscript Vector) remain editable. But images that are saved as JPG, PNG or GIF cannot be edited.
What are they suitable for?
File formats can be used to save vectors in a variety of ways. For example you could save a vector image as an EPS format so it can be edited, or you could save the file as JPEG to reserve space.

These are then accompanied by other curves, points and different angles along the way. A path doesn't necessarily have to to be a line, it can be comprised of a triangle, square or even a curvy shape. These shapes can then be used to either create some simplistic drawings to even complex diagrams. Vector-based images can be better than bitmap in some cases because they don't use a specific number of dots, they can be scaled up or down without having to compromise the quality.

Most vector graphics nowadays are used in dynamically modifiable stored lists of drawing instructions, therefore it can be used in many things such as home gaming systems and many more. However in the present day vector graphic files are used for drawings and are typically printed as bitmaps, after vector to raster conversion.

The most common raster file formats that support transparency include GIF, PNG, BMP, TIFF and JPEG. It is used through either a transparent colour or an alpha channel. Most vector formats implicitly support transparency because they simply avoid putting any objects at a given point. Here is an example of raster/vector transparency.
