Lossless and Lossy Image Compression

Photoshop is one such software that supports colors and formats of images in the best possible manner. Generally due to the colors and size, the files of images are comparatively heavier. Simply by looking with naked eye, the structure might not be reflected whereas after comparisons, you can easily see the difference especially while being used during word processing. Any text document with around 100 pages length will be less than 1% size of any file containing digital photograph of say 8 X 10inches. This much larger size of file doesn’t work anywhere in the industry. Although, this is the current scenario but the need was left quite afterward when the industry people understood the problem and came up with the solution to assist photographers in alleviating their need, who kept on buying big hard drives.
Anywhere within the industry, images with heavy size cannot be used especially on the websites and even for printing. It gets noticeable while comparing them with the digital files.

Comparisons in pictures enable the use to squeeze the larger sized image files to smaller. Quality sometimes reduces by this whereas in one system, loss of quality in picture can be attained – that is by ‘lossless compression’. The other one, ‘lossy compress’ enables saving greater space on the prices of lowering down few image details. Both situations are helpful for improving quality and performance and reducing errors.
