File Format Research

JPEG-
In computing, JPEG is a commonly used method of lossy compression for digital photography. JPEG compression is used in a number of image file formats. JPEG/Exif is the most common image format used by digital cameras and other photographic image capture devices along with JPEG/JFIF, it is the most common format for storing and transmitting photographic images on the internet

PSD-
The .PSD (Photoshop Document), Photoshop's native format, stores an image with support for most imaging options available in Photoshop. These include layers with masks, color spaces, transparency, text, and lots more. This is in contrast to many other file formats (e.g. .EPS or .GIF) that restrict content to provide streamlined, predictable functionality.

BMP-
The BMP file format, sometimes called bitmap or DIB file format is an image file format used to store bitmap digital images, especially on Microsoft Windows operating systems. Many older graphical user interfaces used bitmaps in their built-in graphics subsystems.
