<dd>Embeds a JPEG preview in the DNG file. If you decide to embed a

previews, other applications can view the contents of the DNG file
without parsing the camera raw data.</dd><p class="dlseparator"></p></dl>
</dd><p class="dlseparator"></p><dt class="dlterm">JPEG</dt>
<dd>Saves copies of the camera raw files in JPEG (Joint Photographic
Experts Group) format. To specify the amount of compression, enter
a value from 0 to 12 or choose from the menu. Entering a higher
value, or choosing High or Maximum, applies less compression and
increases file size and image quality. JPEG format is commonly used
to display photographs and other continuous-tone images in web photo
galleries, slide shows, presentations, and other online services. </dd><p class="dlseparator"></p><dt class="dlterm">TIFF</dt>
<dd>Saves copies of the camera raw files as TIFF (Tagged-Image
File Format) files. Specify whether to apply no compression, or
LZW or ZIP file compression. TIFF is a flexible bitmap image format
supported by virtually all paint, image-editing, and page-layout
applications. TIFF provides greater compression and compatibility
with other applications than does PSD format. </dd><p class="dlseparator"></p><dt class="dlterm">Photoshop</dt>
