TARGA (TGA)
The TARGA(TGA) graphics format is used for describing bitmaps. It supports various compression systems and can represent bitmaps ranging from black-and-white to RGB color. You can import or export TGA files in CorelDRAW.
For more information about importing files, see “Importing files.”

|
|
The following features are supported: uncompressed color-mapped images, uncompressed RGB images, run-length encoding (RLE) compressed color-mapped images, RLE-compressed RGB images (types 1, 2, 9, and 10 as defined by the AT&T Electronic Photography and Imaging Center), and masks.

|
|
The type of file produced depends on the number of colors exported. For example, 24-bit color TARGA (TGA) files are exported as RLE-compressed RGB bitmaps.
|
|

|
You can import TGA files from 8-bit grayscale to 24-bit RGB.
