Still Image-Aware Applications

[This is preliminary documentation and subject to change.]

Two primary types of applications use still digital images. These are:

  1. Applications that edit image data. Adobe Photoshop or Microsoft PictureIt!™ are examples of this type of application.
  2. Applications that are used for authoring documents that include image data but cannot edit the image data. Typical applications of this type are word processors such as Microsoft Word, or presentation applications such as Microsoft PowerPoint®.
