JPEG

The JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) format is a highly compressible bitmap graphic format that can support millions of colors. JPEG images always display at high resolution regardless of whether the Redraw preference High-Resolution Image Display is selected. The more the image is compressed, the more sharpness is lost. This format is not recommended for print.

You can import 8-bit JPEG images in RGB, CMYK, and grayscale color spaces; you cannot import YCC, YCCk, and 12-bit JPEG images.

To import JPEG images successfully, follow these guidelines:

Applying plug-in filters to linked JPEG images converts the image to an embedded TIFF image. To extract the image and create a link to the new TIFF file, use the Extract button in the Links dialog box. For more information, see Managing links.

Note: Some plug-ins don't work properly with JPEG images.

To colorize a grayscale JPEG, apply a fill color.
