In-Depth Information
File Formats: Quick Reference
Raw:
Advantages:
●
Highest image quality available
●
High bit data maximizes capture to include the
greatest amount of image data possible
●
Less destructive editing
●
Image i les are uncompressed and
unprocessed. Image processing versatility and
l exibility far exceed all other i le types
●
Faster capture rate than TIFF
Disadvantages:
●
Large i les
●
Less images on card
●
Requires raw conversion process
●
Storage
JPEG:
Advantages:
●
Smaller i les more images per card
●
Best email format
●
Pre-processed to look better initially
●
Universally recognized i le format that can be
managed by almost every software type
Disadvantages:
●
Image i les are compressed to become smaller
unwanted artifacts in images that rel ect
compression process
●
8-bit capture does not maximize data therefore
less image information captured
●
More destructive editing pre-processed for
contrast and saturation
TIFF:
Advantages:
●
High quality image i les (high bit image data)
●
Uncompressed images
●
No compression artifacts
●
Highly functional i le that can be managed by
almost every software type
●
No conversions necessary
Disadvantages:
●
Largest i le
●
Less images on card
●
Slower capture rate
●
