Tips & Warnings

• If you are manipulating a picture in Photoshop as well as desire to keep all the features of that picture, Photoshop format (PSD) is a good option. It allows you to save an image up to 2 GB in size as well as control features like layers, masks, effects along with styles lacking destruction the picture. The disadvantage is that hardly any additional programs can interpret this type of files.

• The JPEG image format works fine for photograph on the Web. The files are compressed, giving them smaller file sizes, but the compression in fact throws data away as well as can corrupt the quality of the picture. This works for display at 72 dots per inch (dpi) on a PC screen, but not so well in print applications with high dpi. The format, though, is extensively well-matched with special types of computers as well as applications.

• The TIFF image format is extensively used in the publishing business for high-end print creation. It allows saving of extremely comprehensive images up to 600 dpi. This file format does take up extra storage space, but there is little information lost, preserving the quality of the picture.

• GIF file format uses an inadequate color range, making the images lesser in size as well as faster to load on websites. Though it's a good option for graphics on the Web, these images work badly for print applications.
