How To Open JPEG Files

DESCRIPTION:

A JPEG file is the most common image format available. Because of its convenient 10 to 1 up to 20 to 1 compression capability, while maintaining a fair amount of visible image quality (though quality is lost), it is used frequently by digital cameras and web designers. Unlike similar formats like PNG, which save images with much higher quality, the JPEG is a good option for taking up less space and still looking decent. Due to their smaller size, you will have less of a problem opening JPEG files that are embedded in web pages and the ability to store more of these images on your camera or computer. This file extension is based on a 24-bit color palette and supports 16.7 million colors and most graphic programs allow the user to choose the compression rate.
