Zoomify’s converter currently supports the following formats natively: TIFF, JPEG, and BMP. Support for numerous additional file formats can be had using the built-in Zoomify Export capability in Adobe Photoshop CS4 and CS3. Using this feature of Photoshop one can create Zoomify Images from content in any of the formats supported by Photoshop. The Zoomify Converter creates tiled, tiered, multiresolution image content stored in one of two approaches: a folder of JPEG ’tiles’ as well as a single-file approach in which the tiles are all stored within a file with a ‘.PFF’ extension. This ‘Pyramidal File Format’ is tailored specifically to meet the needs of multi-resolution network imaging. It has a lightweight architecture, non-redundant tile header optimizations, initial view optimizations, can support file sizes greater than the 4Gig limit of TIFF, supports multiple frames for animations and slideshows, and is even able to store polygon data for 3D, panoramic and other rich media types.
