Bitmap image - Images created or captured as a grid of colored dots called pixels. Because a bitmap image - also known as a raster image - contains a finite number of pixels, the way a bitmap image looks is affected by its resolution.
Bitmap images

Many file formats use compression to reduce the file size of bitmap images (digital photo). Lossless techniques compress the file without removing image detail or colour information; lossy techniques remove detail.
TIFF files are flexible bitmap image files supported by virtually all paint, image-editing, and page-layout applications. Also, virtually all desktop scanners can produce TIFF images. This format, which uses the .
Bitmap images are made up of pixels (or "bits") that store color information. A bitmap can be any size, depending on the number of pixels it contains. Its resolution is fixed so it can't be resized or manipulated without losing image clarity.
Bitmap images are formed from a matrix of dots with different colors, also called pixels. It is this number of pixels that determines the size at which such an image can be printed or displayed.
Bitmap images contain a finite number of pixel, so the resolution of the output device effects the detail and quality of a bitmapped image. Therefore, when you scale a bitmap image there is image degradation.
It applies a linear curve to the image mapping all brightness levels into the bitmap image space.
The Window is very intuitive. You can simply hover with your mouse over any of the sliders to get a short explanation.
Graphics Interchange Format is a bitmap image format, but it only supports 8-bits per pixel, so it is not really suitable for color photographic images unless they are used in small animations or low resolution film clips.
Raw files require additional processing by a raw converter in a wide-gamut colorspace before conversion to format where they are ready to be used with a bitmap image editor or printed.
