What are the 3 types of image?
In visual storytelling, you'll usually apply three different types of images: iconic images, symbolic images, and indexical images.
Do different images have different file sizes?
Even with the same exact compression scheme, files will vary in size because of the variation in the image. Areas of solid color can compress larger chunks. A 2x2 chunk marked "blue" takes the same space as a 16x16 chunk. So, the picture with more solid/contiguous color will compress more.
What are the 3 quality types for images?
Based on data related to web usage, the three most common image file types are JPEG, PNG, and SVG.
