| JPEG This
file format for color-rich images was developed by the Joint Photographic
Experts Group committee. JPEG compresses graphics of photographic color
depth better than competing file formats like GIF, and it retains a high
degree of color fidelity. This makes JPEG files smaller and therefore
quicker to download. You can choose how much to compress a JPEG file, but
since it is a lossy format, the smaller you compress the file, the more
color information will be lost. JPEG files can be viewed by a variety of
downloadable software on both the PC and Mac. |
