Image Formats:

a) Find out the most common formats for images and write a short description of the features of each of them.

JPEG (joint Photographic Experts Group): is a compression method. JPEG compression is (in most cases) lossy compression. The compression does not noticeably detract from the images quality, but JPEG files suffer generational degradation when repeatedly edited and saved.

RAW refers to a family of raw image formats that are options avaible on some digital cameras. These formates usually use a lossless compression, and produce file sizes much smaller than a JPEG.

PNG (Portable Network Graphics) The PNG format supports truecolor (16 million colors). The PNG excels when the image has large, unimormly colored areas. The lossless PNG format i best suited for editing pictures, but for the final distribuition of images is better a lossy format because PNG files are bigger. PNG is designed to work well in online viewing applications.

GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) is limited to 256 colors. This makes the GIF format suitable for storing graphics with relatively few colors such as simple diagrams, shapes, logos and cartoon style images. The GIF format is used to provide image animation effects. It also uses a lossless compression.

BMP (Windows bitmap) handles graphics files within the Microsoft Windows OS. BMP files are uncompressed, hence they are large; the advantage is their simplicity and wide acceptance in Windows programs.


b) Wich image format preserves the quality better when it is compressed?

The PNG format preserves a better quality.

c) Wich formats are more suitable for web design?

The lossy formats are more suitable for web design because the other formats are bigger.
