Computer based image can be saved in a variety of formats. The most popular format is JPEG which is a standard devised by the Joint Picture Experts Group. There are other formats depending on what quality of image you want. These are Portable Network Graphic or PNG as well as Quicktime or QT. In the not so distant past each company who made Image Storage Programs had their own, incompatible formats

There is no single best image format. There are many very useful formats:

JPG - easily used in web pages and shared. However, JPG files are compressed and therefore lose some of the image quality.

DNG - see raw formats.

TIFF - a complex format largely used in scanners and faxes.

RAW - RAW files are not standardized between camera models. They have an advantage in that they keep intact everything recorded by the camera but they are large and not easily shared or printed.

There are about 30 more commonly used image formats.

How do you change psd to indesign format?

You can't change a PSD file into an INDD file because the INDD format isn't an image format - they're text files. To incorporate the image into the InDesign project, you have to perform a Place (File - Place) to put the image into the ID project. The image file then becomes a part of the overall ID file when it's saved, but it isn't changed to the ID format. InDesign links to the image file for both project presentation and printing purposes.
