The various formats are optimized for the kind of data they store as well as the media on which they are created and stored. Popular multimedia formats are .mp3 (MPEG-Layer 3) for music files, .avi (Audio Video Interface) for videos, and .jpg (JPEG) for images."

Which type of image file format typically produces a large file size a JPEG file or TIFF file?

Tiffs typically produce larger files because their compression format maintains all the image data. Jpegs are "lossy," meaning their compression format works by discarding some of the data, reducing the number of colors stored in the image.

The comma-separated values (CSV) file format is a set of file formats used to store tabular data in which numbers and text are stored in plain textual form that can be read in a text editor. Lines in the text file represent rows of a table, and commas in a line separate what are fields in the tables row. Different implementations of CSV arise as the format is modified to handle richer table content such as allowing a different field separator character (necessary if numeric fields are written with a comma instead of a decimal point) or extensions to allow numbers, the separator character, or newline characters in text fields.

What are the disadvantages bmp file format?

Size (in MB) is the main disadvantage.

BMP (.bmp) or Bitmaps are huge image files. By using simple Jpeg (.jpg), PNG (.png) or GIF (.gif) compression you can greatly reduce an image size, especially for web applications.

A bitmap of say, 500,000 Bytes can easily be reduced to some 15,000 Bytes by converting the image to Jpeg and slightly compressing it.

What is the significance of file formats and file extension?

File formats and extensions are more or less the same thing. Their importance lies in identifying how to use the file. That is, having a document with the extension .doc or .docx tells the computer that the file needs to be opened using a word processing application. If the file extension (the .XXX) is .jpg for instance, the computer knows that it is an image file and that it should open it with an image viewer.

I hope this clears things up for you.

The files are small and as long as the compression is not too great the image quality is almost identical to the original. JPEG images are very common, being supported virtually by every imaging device and image processing software. Due to their small size are ideal for storing, transmitting and embedding photos or similar images.

What are the two main file formats for saving digital pictures in a digital camera?

JPG and a native (proprietary) RAW format. TIF used to be common, but no more. JPG is a "lossy" compressed format, limited to 8 bits of information per RGB chanel, per pixel. The term "lossy" means that the data isn't completely (1-for-1) restored when it's saved. RAW formats vary, and are highly dependent on the sensor in the camera. Instead of using the firmware in the camera to render the image, you use software in your computer to render the image. The file typically caries 10 bits of information per RGB channel per pixel, or more. This can give you more options for dynamic range (ratio of lightest part of the photo to the darkest), and finer graduation between the colors.

What types of file formats do digital camera use to store images?
