.bmp The bit-mapped (or raster) file format used by Microsoft Windows. The BMP format supports RGB, indexed-color, grayscale, and Bitmap color modes.
.eps Encapsulated PostScript. File format capable of containing both high-quality vector and bitmap graphics, including flexible font capabilities. The EPS format is supported by most graphic, illustration, and page-layout programs.
.jpg or jpeg. Joint Photographic Experts Group. JPEG is an image file format with multiple levels of compression. The more compression, the lower the image quality. The most commonly used forms of JPEG utilize ‘lossy’ compression algorithms, which discard a certain amount of information. JPG compression analyzes images in blocks of 8 x 8 pixels and selectively reduces the detail within each block.
JPEG is the default format for most consumer digital cameras. While its small file size is great for storage purposes, its “lossy” compression makes it less than ideal for image editing. Every time you save the file, the picture quality degrades. Once the photo quality has been lost, the original quality cannot be restored. To avoid this degradation issue, save your JPEG photos to a CD or other storage system as TIFF files. You can do this with most photo software, or with Windows XP. (Open the image. From the File menu, choose Save As. In the Save as type box, select TIF. Compression option None is recommended.)
.psd Adobe Photoshop file format (PSD) is the default file format in Photoshop, and the only format that supports all the program’s features. When saving a PSD file for use in previous versions of Photoshop or ImageReady, options for maximizing compatibility are available.
.tif or tiff.Tagged Image File Format. File format commonly used for image files. 8-bit RGB TIFF and 16-bit RGB TIFF are two variations that most image editing software applications recognize. RGB TIFF is a common choice for saving photo images after they have been polished up in editing software such as Adobe Photoshop. Before going to press, always convert to CMYK color mode.
Portable Network Graphics (PNG /ˈpɪŋ/) is a raster graphics file format that supports lossless data compression. PNG was created as an improved, non-patented replacement for Graphics Interchange Format (GIF), and is the most widely used lossless image compression format on the Internet.

Digital Negative (DNG) is an open lossless raw image format written by Adobe used for digital photography. It was launched on September 27, 2004.
Graphics Interchange Format. GIFs are image files that are compressed to reduce transfer time. The proper pronounciation of the acronym is a soft "g" sound: like JIF.
