JPG, JPEG |
8 Bit |
JPEG files are the most common image files, and are ideal for sharing on the web, by email, or for sending to online printing facilities. JPEG files are limited to 8-bit color, and are compressed by a user-selectable amount. Corel AfterShot Pro uses a 0-100 scale to set the JPEG quality level. A setting of 100 produces a very large file that has no compression artifacts. A setting of 50 will produce visible artifacts, but will also result in a much smaller file. The default setting is 80 for proofs and 90 for full size JPEGs. |
TIFF |
TIF, TIFF |
8 Bit or 16 Bit |
TIFF files use only lossless compression, ensuring that 100% of the detail from the original image is preserved. TIFF files can be either 8–bit or 16–bit, and produce very large file sizes. |
About image compression
Image Compression is the process of lowering the image file size so you can store more photos in a fixed amount of space. There are two types of compression:Lossy or Lossless.
Lossy Compression results in the loss of data during the compression process. This means that the compressed image will lack some detail and image information. Small amounts of lossy compression (for example, JPEG compression set at a level of 90 or higher) produce images that are very similar in detail and image quality to the original image. More aggressive compression settings (for example, compression numbers like 50 or 70) produce noticeable compression artifacts and detail loss.
Lossless Compression reduces the file size with no loss of data, and therefore no loss of image quality.
