#Digital photo file formats series
Their small size means you can take a long series of photographs without having to wait for your camera or memory card to buffer, making it less likely you’ll miss the perfect shot while waiting for your gear to play catch up. What would be a 10MB file in the RAW format could easily be compressed to a 2MB file in the JPEG format. JPEG files are also considerably smaller than RAW files. The file can be taken from your camera’s memory card and printed without having to do anything. They have high contrast and vibrant colors and the camera even sharpens the image for a polished final product. The files themselves are a complete picture. The JPEG format is standard across brands so regardless of what type of camera you use, the file will be the same. With a JPEG, in its manicured nature, there is no need to process anything the files will be ready to open on any computer and readable on pretty much any device. Sometimes you’ll also see this file format abbreviated without the E as JPG. JPEG stands for Joint Photographic Experts Group, the committee that created the file type. If you are curious like me you’re probably wondering what the letters signify. JPEGs are compressed photo files, meaning your camera looks at all the information it captures and saves only the information that it deems important, and that’s what you see when you look at your photo.
