Photo CD Multi-resolution Bitmap Graphics (.pcds)

The PCDS file extension stands for Photo CD Multi-resolution Bitmap Graphics, a format developed by Kodak in 1991 for digitizing and storing high-quality images on CDs. PCDS files were used to store scanned prints and slides, leveraging proprietary encoding to maintain image quality. This format was part of Kodak's Photo CD system, which aimed to provide a reliable method for archiving and accessing digital photographs.

Joint Photographic Experts Group (.jpg)

The JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) file extension, abbreviated as JPG, is a widely used format for digital images. Originating from a standard established by the Joint Photographic Experts Group in 1992, it became the go-to choice for compressing photographic images due to its balance of compression and image quality. JPG files are particularly effective for web use, digital photography, and archival storage where color fidelity and small file size are paramount. This format's lossy compression reduces file size by discarding non-essential data, making it efficient for online image sharing and storage.
