PHOTOGRAPHY GLOSSARY "J-K"

JPEG. Joint Photographic Experts Group. This is the name of the committee that designed the standard image compression algorithm. JPEG was designed for compressing full color or grey scale digital images of natural scenes. It doesn't work so well with non-realistic images, such as cartoons however. JPEG does not handle the compression of black and white (1 bit-per-pixel) images or moving pictures.

KB . A Kilobyte of data, or an abbreviation for keyboard.
