ABC to DDS Conversion: FAQ
What are ABC files?
ABC (Advanced Bitonal Compression) is a proprietary image format designed by Lead Technologies for storing scanned documents of all types and sizes. The format is included in a larger imaging pack called LeadTools and its main advantage is the use of a 1-bit compression algorithm, allowing great image quality at a smaller file size when compared to other similar formats available. This translates into easier access, storage and transmission, which adds to the option of using lossless or lossy compression.
What are DDS files?
DDS (DirectDraw Surface) is an image file format that usually contains texture data, cubic environment maps or other type of data compressed using the S3TC (S3 Texture Compression) algorithm. The DDS format was first associated with Microsoft's DirectX 7.0 and later on with DirectDraw, a tool for accelerating the rendering of graphics in various applications. DDS is a container file and can be decompressed using a graphics processing unit (GPU).
