JPEG: The extension of JPEG file can get very high compression rate and display very rich and vivid images by removing
redundant images and color data. In other words, it can get better image quality with the least disk space. If Measurement
Objects are available, the Measurement Objects will be burned into the image and the Measurement Objects cannot be
edited.
TIFF: Tag Image File Format(TIFF) is a flexible bitmap format that is mainly used to store images including photos and
artistic images.
