Description	The ORF file format is a proprietary RAW image format used by Olympus digital cameras. ORF files contain all the image information gathered from the camera's sensors when a picture is taken, including key characteristics such as colour temperature, contrast and saturation. The files are not intended to be directly viewed, but rather used with image processing software and saved out to other more common image formats such as TIFF and JPG.

Technical Details	ORF files can be thought of as a format of digital negatives - ORF files have to be copied to a PC's hard disk, and then they can be adjusted in a wide variety of ways. The ORF format allows you to set the various white balance and saturation values which you cannot do in JPEG or TIFF formats. ORF files contain 12, 14 or more bits per pixel per channel, whereas JPEG images have only 8 bits per pixel per channel.

Description	JPG's are often used for web sites and email as they are generally smaller file sizes as they are lossy meaning that some image quality is lost when the JPG is compressed and saved. The resultant 'lossy' file means that quality can never be recovered. The JPG format is often used in digital camera memory cards. The JPG file is a great format as it often manages to compress files to 1/10 of the size of the original file which is especially good for saving on bandwidth.

Technical Details	JPG is a graphical file format for editing still images, it offers a symmetrical compression technique which is processor intensive and time consiming in both compression and decompression. JPEG is a joint standard of the International Telecommunications Union (ITU-T T.81) and the International Organization for Standardization (ISO 10918-1). JPEG involves a lossy compression mechanism using discrete cosine transform (DCT). Compression rates of 100:1 can be achieved, although the loss is noticeable at that level. Compression rates of 10:1 or 20:1 yield little degradation in image quality.
