===JPEG ===
'''The [[JPEG]] (Joint Photographic Experts Group)''' image files are a lossy format. The [[DOS]] [[filename extension]] is ''JPG'', although other [[operating system]]s may use ''JPEG''. Nearly all digital cameras have the option to save images in JPEG format, some at different compression levels, such as “fine” and “standard.” The JPEG format supports full color and produces relatively small file sizes. Fortunately, the compression in most cases does not distract noticeably from the image. But, JPEG files do suffer generational degradation when repeatedly edited and saved. These files are best kept in original form. Because of the compression algorithm “artifacts” (blemishes) sometimes appear.
====Exif==== ▼
'''The [[Exif]] (Exchangeable image file) ''' format is an algorithm incorporated in the JPEG software used in most cameras. Its purpose is to record and to standardize the exchange of data between digital cameras and editing and viewing software. The data is recorded for individual images and includes such things as; camera settings, time and date, shutter speed, exposure, image size, compression, name of camera, color information, etc. When images are viewed or edited by image editors, such as Paint Shop Pro, all of this image information can be displayed.▼

===RAW===
'''The [[RAW image format]]''' is a file option available on some digital cameras. It uses a lossless compression and produces file sizes much smaller than the TIFF format. Unfortunately, the RAW format is not standard among all camera manufacturers and some graphic programs and image editors may not accept the RAW format. The better graphic editors can read some manufacturer's RAW formats.
