Default Confused about graphic file extensions - 02-10-2007 , 09:13 AM






Are the following all valid extensions for files read by windows?
Are the paired ones equivalent?
Is EXIF and extension or is it used in some other way?

Thanks for any help


JPG;JPEG

TIF;TIFF

ICO;ICON

EXIF

I can't check (at least not all of them) because I tried for a couple of
them to search my entire disk and could not find one file with the searched
extension.
I thought I could answer my own question by looking at Photoshop, but all
that did was add more extensions.
What I really need to know is: Can DotNet read/write these files

BMP,RLE,DIB

JPG;JPEG,JPE

TIF;TIFF

ICO;ICON

EXIF - My guess: This is an ImageFormat member but probably not an
extension

Yes, read and write EXIF image tags. But not all EXIF image tags are
supported.
