There are a number of different image formats that can be used in Photoshop, and each has its own set of benefits and drawbacks. Here are the three highest quality image formats that Photoshop can use: JPEG: JPEG is the most common format for digital photos, and it’s generally considered to be the highest quality format available. JPEGs tend to be relatively small in size, which makes them easy to share online, and they can also be edited easily using standard photo editing tools. However, JPEGs don’t offer as much resolution as some other formats, and they can sometimes suffer from compression artifacts. PNG: PNG is a relatively new image format that’s gaining popularity among Photoshop users. Unlike JPEGs and TIFFs, which are bitmap images, PNGs are vector images – meaning they can be scaled up or down without losing quality. This makes PNGs ideal for high-resolution graphics or logos, as well as for images that will be used in printouts or on large displays. However, PNGs don’t offer as much resolution as JPEGs do, and they can sometimes suffer from file size limitations. TIFF: TIFF is a venerable image format that’s been around since the early days of Photoshop. Like PNGs, TIFFs are vector images – meaning they can be enlarged or reduced without losing quality – but TIFF files tend to be larger than either PNG or JPEG files do. TIFF files also offer more resolution than either of those two formats does; at 24 bits per pixel (compared to 16 bits per pixel for JPEGs and 8 bits per pixel for PNGs), TIFF files have more detail than any other image format available in Photoshop. ..
