“Digital photos are computer files. They are stored either on the camera memory or on a computer hard disk. Like any other computer file digital photos are saved in well known formats. One of those standard formats is known as JPEG. Here is some useful information on JPEG files.
Digital photo files are at their core a collection of bits and bytes. A file format is a description of how these bits and bytes are ordered. Using standard file formats allows one device like a digital camera to save a file that can be later on processed by another device for example a personal computer running a digital photo viewer software. JPEG files are a format that allows the storage of digital photos in a compressed format. Such format saves storage space, allows for faster transmission of files over the Internet and also for faster performance when viewing photos.”
