1. TIFF
TIFF is the most common file type used in photo software (such as
Photoshop), as well as page layout software (such as Quark and
InDesign), again because a TIFF contains a lot of image data.
2. JPEG
Most digital cameras store photos in JPEG format, because then you can
take more photos on one camera card than you can with other formats.
A JPEG is compressed in a way that loses some of the image detail
during the compression in order to make the file small (and thus called
“lossy” compression).
3. GIF
GIF stands for Graphic Interchange Format. This format compresses
images but, as different from JPEG, the compression is lossless (no
detail is lost in the compression, but the file can’t be made as small
as a JPEG).
4. PNG
It’s used almost exclusively for web images, never for print images.
