JPEGs are typically the most utilized format for graphic images. Typically digital and color images need to use this compression format. JPEG compression contains full color or gray scale. JPEG compression format possesses a large range of colors. JPEGs capture the realism in images.  According to Sarah Horton, "The more a photo is squeezed with JPEG compression, the more quality the photo loses."<ref>Lynch, Patrick J., Horton, Sarah.

Scantips. [http://www.scantips.com/basics09.html] n.p., n.d. Web. 22 Nov. 2012.</ref>. BMPs offer great detail when it comes to size; however, this format consumes a lot of space on the hard drive. Meanwhile, a compressed BMP file, which is larger than a JPEG, can be stored and transferred easier over the web.
