Glossary Of Photography Terms

Compression Compression in photography refers to the process of reducing the file size of digital images by encoding them in a more efficient manner. Compression techniques are employed to minimize storage space and optimize transmission speed when sharing or storing images electronically. There are two primary types of compression: lossy and lossless. Lossy compression reduces file size by discarding some image data, resulting in a loss of quality.
Common lossy compression formats include JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group). Lossless compression, on the other hand, reduces file size without sacrificing image quality by eliminating redundant data. Examples of lossless compression formats include PNG (Portable Network Graphics) and TIFF (Tagged Image File Format). The choice of compression method depends on factors such as intended use, desired image quality, and available storage space. |
