Definition........................ |
A file format featuring digital compression that reduces digital image file size, or an image file that has been so compressed. |
|
Additional Info............... |
The common JPEG format deletes some image data when compressing a file. Application of a high compression ratio when saving JPEG files May cause undesirable visual artifacts. Repeatedly editing and saving a JPEG file will magnify such artifacts. However, when created with low compression (larger file sizes and higher-level settings), a JPEG image is almost indistinguishable from the original digital image from which it was generated. |
Term In Use................. |
"JPEG image file compression can be confusing, since most measures designate lower compression ratios with high numbers, intended to designate high quality." |
