That would be TGA Kevin.  They are TGA derivatives.

Subject: [Hardhats-members] VistA Imaging and Image filetypes

Does anyone know the image filetype of the thumbnails that are
automatically generated (I believe by the background processor)?

When I ask for an image from the server, say for a given document, it
passes back the name of the file, e.g.:
ZZ000001.jpg
and it ALSO passes back the name of a thumbnail (aka abstract), e.g.:
ZZ000001.ABS

Because I am not going to be running the background processor, I will
upload these abstract .ABS files myself.  But I don't know what file
format it should be: jpg? bmp?  same as original file?

Also, it appears that records in the IMAGE file (2005) have a field
that specifies the image type (i.e. movie, text, html, still image). 
But it specifies that the default extension for a STILL IMAGE is jpg. 
I assume this is only a default, and that I can upload any format I
want (i.e. .png ), because there is also a field that specifies the
file's extension.

So my primary question is what the format of the .ABS file is supposed to
be.

Thanks
Kevin
