> A FPX file requires about 33% more disk storage space -if 
uncompressed- than a TIFF file because of the extra 
resolutions contained in it, but: 
= It requires much less RAM for viewing; approximately 
20% of the RAM required for a TIFF file, 
= It takes much less time to modify an image and store the 
revision, 
= Only the viewing parameters need to be modified, not 
the actual image, 
= In most applications, FPX files reduce storage, 
= Interaction between application and on line user, opti- 
mized for distribution on the Web. No plug in is re- 
quired for Internet -distribution or viewing, 
= On the fly thumbnail production, 
= It supports almost unlimited do/undo flexibility, 
= It creates multiple versions of images without duplicat- 
ing source files. 
Images in FlashPix files are stored at multiple independent 
resolutions. This feature allows applications to select the appro- 
priate resolution a user needs for a selected procedure. No 
longer do applications have to process the entire image in order 
to view a small section, nor process a high-resolution image to 
produce a low-resolution display.
