True or False: JPG image compression is not suitable for storing photographic images? (explain why)?

I am not a photography student so not too sure about this. Simple language would really help. I am finding differeing answers and not sure as to the correct one. Any help is greatl appreciated.True or False: JPG image compression is not suitable for storing photographic images? (explain why)?
False. If you are talking the physical aspects of storing a photo, it makes no difference if it is JPG or Tiff or RAW or whatever. If a hard drive or CD fails, then it fails, it does not care what format the photo on it was stored in.





True. If the question concerns storing photos for future possible editing, then using JPG is not the best, because you are losing data with each save and re-edit and save. You should save photos in Tiff so you have an file that can be worked on with no degradation of the photo.





How is that for a politician style answer to your question?

Steve nailed it.





I shoot in RAW + JPEG basic. I only use the JPEG's for editing (sorting for those who have never shot a lot of film). Then once edited, I select the best of the best images RAW files and burn them to a CD or DVD to archive them.





Then depending upon the clients needs, I produce either TIFF, HQ JPEG or ';Internet ready'; JEPG's from those RAW files and burn them to a CD and mail them off with an invoice which also states what rights they have when using my images
i dont know much about photography but i do know that at the beginning of your question you asked true or false, then you later asked explain why. those are two totally different formats for questions, so pick one you selfish little *****! ~ good luck=]
false? all pictures you take on your digital cameras are saved in jpg format
