The following are the different digital image file formats that you may encounter in Photoshop.
PSD
JPEG
One of the most commonly used file formats and most of us are familiar with is the JPEG or the so-called Joint Photographic Experts Group. It always comes with a small file size so it is best for website posting or other applications such as for MS Word Document or PowerPoint presentation. However, you have to be extra careful of the quality of your image as when saving JPEG files; you are actually compressing it and in turn losing the image quality.
GIF
Graphics Interchange Format or popularly know by its acronym GIF is the most frequent file format used in websites and other Internet applications. Good thing about it is that it comes in a very small file size so it loads quickly in any internet browser. However, this file format has a color limitation of only up to 256 colors.
TIFF
Another file format that you can use in Photoshop is the so-called TIFF or Tagged Image File Format. This appears in high quality images but also consumes a little amount of file size so it will take a little time to load especially if you are using it for web posting. This is not advisable for Internet use.
Besides the list we have enumerated, there are still more photo file formats that you can use. However, in your Photoshop editing works, those listed above are the best choices. Most of the time, only PSD, JPEG and GIF are regularly used in editing projects.
