7.2.5 - JPEG
File extension = .jpg
JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) is a group of experts that develops and maintains standards for a
suite of compression algorithms for computer image files. JPEG is a term used for any graphic image file
produced by using a JPEG standard.
When you create a JPEG or convert an image from another format to a JPEG, you are asked to specify the
quality of image you want. Since the highest quality results in the largest file, you can make a trade-off between
image quality and file size.
After you have selected Jpeg Files (*.jpg) from the Save as type drop-down menu, allocated a filename and
clicked Save, the file is saved.
7.2.6 - MPEG
File extension = .m1v
MPEG (Moving Picture Experts Group) is a standard for digital video and digital audio compression. MPEG
standards are an evolving series, each designed for a different purpose.
After you have selected Mpeg (*.m1v) from the Save as type drop-down menu, allocated a filename and
clicked Save, the file is saved.
