PNG vs JPG vs GIF vs BMP vs TIF
We all have heard about most of these file formats, and many of us know exactly when to use which, but many others don’t. So, here is a quick tutorial.
Raster vs. Vector
Before we go into the five file formats picked, it is good to know that there are two main graphic families, Raster and Vector, and all the image file formats listed below belong to the Raster family. The Raster graphics are made of pixels while Vector graphics are made of paths. Also, when you are talking about BITMAP, you mean Raster.
Lossy vs Lossless compression
Again, image file formats can be distinguished based on the compression effects:
Lossy compression: It can compress images very effectively, but since it does not encode all the information, it will not be an exact representation of the original when it is recovered as an image. They are usually suited for photographs, but not for drawings or illustrations.
Lossless compression: It encodes all the information from the original and remains and remains an exact representation of the original when it is decompressed
Uncompressed file format takes the most amount of data and is the exact representation of the image.
JPG/JPEG/JFIF images
Full form: Joint Photographic Experts Group.
Extension: .jpg/.jpeg
The commonest image file format that digital cameras save their images in. JPEG files apply the lossy compression method which can help reduce the file size significantly without compromising the quality. This is the default format for Microsoft Paint files.
Cons: This format is not immune to generational degradation. This means with every edit and resave; the image quality will deteriorate.
Application: Still images, image capture device storage, light, and darkness focused images.

PNG image format
Full form: Portable Network Graphics
Extension: .png
This free open-source alternative to GIF offers 16 million colors. This is the best file format for true-color images that need perfect tone balance. The animated file format of PNG is available with the APNG format. These files have a transparent background.
Cons: Works best with larger file sizes. The PNG format itself doesn’t support animated graphics.
Application: Image editing, web images, images involving layers, like transparency or fading effects. It creates web friendly images.
TIF file extension
Full form: Tagged Image File Format.
Extension: .tif/.tiff
Flexible and easily extensible file format capable of handling device-specific color spaces. These files have a transparent background. They are perfect for company logos.
Cons: Not ideal for web browsers.
Application: Photographic file standard in print. OCR software packages.
GIF file format
Full form: Graphics Interchange Format
Extension: .gif
Though this one has a low compression ratio than most video formats, it is the most common image animation format.
Cons: Limited to the 8-bit palette (256 colors), not suitable for photographic images or dithering.
Application: Graphics that require few colors, for example, simplistic diagrams, logos, and animations that have large portions of a single color.

BMP image file format
Full form: Stands for Bitmap
Extension: .bmp
These large uncompressed files are associated with graphic files inside the Windows OS.
Cons: This format is lossless, meaning it cannot be compressed.
Application: Their simplistic structure makes them ideal for Windows programs.
These are the commonest image file formats we use. Now that you know which one is ideal for what purpose, you will be able to manage your image files better.

While The Magician is the guardian of the conscious mind and the tangible world, The High Priestess is the guardian of the subconscious mind and the teacher of sacred knowledge and hidden mysteries. Sitting at the threshold of the conscious and subconscious mind, The High Priestess has an innate ability to travel between these realms effortlessly. She teaches you that the world is not always as it seems and more profound influences are often at play. She ushers you through the thin veil of awareness, offering you a deep, intuitive understanding of the Universe and a heightened awareness of secret or hidden information.
The High Priestess signifies spiritual enlightenment, inner illumination, divine knowledge and wisdom. She shows up in your Tarot readings when the veil between you and the underworld is thin, and you have the opportunity to access the knowledge deep within your soul. Now is the time to be still so you can tune in to your intuition. The answers you are seeking will come from within, from your deepest truth and ‘knowing’. Allow The High Priestess to become your guide as you venture deep into your subconscious mind and access this inner wisdom. Connect with your intuition and your Higher Self through meditation, visualization, shamanic journeying, and being part of spiritual communities.
Your intuitive sense right now is providing you with useful information and is assisting you to become more in touch with your subconscious mind. Knowledge of how to fix these issues will not come through thinking and rationalizing, but by tapping into and trusting your intuition, so allow yourself the time and space to meditate and attend to your inner voice. Look for areas in your life that may be out of balance or lacking ‘flow’ and ease.
Now is also a time of heightened intuitive ability and psychic insight. If you are developing these skills, The High Priestess offers you further encouragement to continue your journey and trust that you are on the right path. The more you listen to your intuition, the more it will flow.
Finally, The High Priestess is a signal that you are being called to embrace the Divine Feminine – your connection to your intuition, compassion, empathy, and inner wisdom. Regardless of your gender, it is vital for you to balance and integrate your masculine and feminine energies, and the presence of The High Priestess signals that your sacred feminine needs your attention right now. Feel, rather than think. Collaborate, rather than compete. Create, rather than destroy. Trust your Divine Feminine energy, even if the masculine energy around you may appear to be stronger. Be proud of your ability to nurture, trust, sense, and empathize instead of hiding it away.

ave become rather clinical in their design; now that everyone’s profile looks exactly the same, we’ve long forgotten the days of fully customisable internet landing pages; gone are the days of Angelfire and Geocities sites or your MySpace page.
Where you could make your profile a beautiful eye sore that only you could love. Nostr clients might not offer that level of customisability, but there is a range of new features coming that can give your profile something unique to showcase.
Badges are customised pieces of digital art that can be shared on a user’s Nostr profile page. A badge is issued by a creator, and only they have the means to edit and award this badge, while anyone who is added to a badge list can claim and display a badge using their public key. This allows any user to create a badge, and any user can claim and display a badge.
Adding badges will make your profile more discoverable and interesting and enable other users to easily identify what kinds of things are important or relevant to you.
While badge creators can curate members and build a community around their emblem of choice, be it Lightning Node runners, ASIC miners, regenerative farmers, or fans of Orange Is the New Black.
