Q1 : Which file formats are best for canvas prints? The suitability of the file format really depends on whether you intend to submit your image by email, FTP or by mail. As a general rule, JPEG files are best if submitting by email or uploading, while TIFF files are best if submitting by FTP or on CD or DVD.
JPEG files are lossy, meaning that when they compress image data, they throw some of it away. When a JPEG file is uncompressed, it does not always duplicate the original data exactly.
TIFF files are lossless, meaning they do not throw away data when compressing. The result is that TIFF files are much larger than JPEG files, but they preserve every pixel that was in the original. |
