easy to edit....

the size of the file is large and it takes time to load the file. so
if you use JPEG file then whether we can get some benefit is terms of
processing. i.e. Whether to use JPEG files are better than BMP in
terms of efficiency ignoring the image quality.

memory to hold the data in 8 bits with 3 bytes each representing
colour information. Hence, there is no way you can save or process
faster or slower for different file formats. What JPEG or JPG offers
is saving disk space by encoding certain information. Whether you
load JPG or BMP both works at same pace.
