SELECTED NICHE : DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHY

  • Restricted Access

    If you are into digital photography, chances are that you
    have already come across the different file formats used by
    digital cameras.

    It doesn't matter if you are an amateur or a professional
    because you will have to deal with them when taking
    pictures and transferring them to your computer and
    eventually editing them.

    But which image format is best for you? It all depends on
    the result that you want and how much control you want to
    have over editing your images. Below are the most common
    image formats used by digital cameras.

    1. JPEG

    - this is probably the most popular image format used not
    only in digital photography but also in web design. It is a
    good thing because you can be sure that you can open your
    file using any computer and without the need of special
    software.

    There's a downside, however, since JPEG is considered a
    lossy' format, which means that a lot of details are lost
    due to the format's compression.

    2. TIFF

    - the answer to JPEG's lossy quality is the TIFF format. It
    means that more details are saved which translates to a
    better image quality.

    But it comes at a price since TIFF files are notoriously
    huge and could eat up storage media space in no time.

    3. RAW

    - among the three, RAW could be considered as the file that
    shows images at its, well, rawest. RAW images are
    unprocessed which gives photographers more control in
    editing them later on.
