The
term JPEG actually refers to a standard for a lossy compression algorithm
developed by the Joint Photographic Experts Group. is a commonly used method of lossy compression
for digital images, particularly for those images produced by digital
photography.
The
.JPEG technology technology is one of the leading image formats out on the
Internet today. The internet is is a place where everything is about being
visual, digital images are everywhere you look on the Internet.
The
JPEG is an image file format used for color, grayscale and monochrome images. It
works best for images with a subtle gradation of colors, shades and tones
because of its use of a lossy compression scheme.
The
popularity of this format has to do with its accessibility. JPEG is recognized
and used by so many readily available imaging software applications such as
Paint Shop Pro, Photoshop, and Corel. Anyone owning a digital camera can easily
take, edit, store and post up their JPEGs on the Internet.
Also,
the JPEG format is one of the two format that the web accepts. The other one is
the format GIF.
Before
the Internet the graphic industry used to make files with as much information
as possible to maintain the optimal resolution values impression, when the
Internet arrived there was a transition from print design to web design, the
industry had to find a wayto transform these heavy and large files tin tiny
files so they can transmit briefly in the web, The Joint Photographic Experts
Group take the project.
In 1992 the JPEG format was realesed and the same year, it was the global standard of compression and encodingin image files, was released as a free software,
in addition to being released as an open source package was key to the success
of the JPEG standard, which was built by many companies in a variety of
products such as image editors , Internet browsers and operating systems.
