Default Stop calling JPGs on the internet "albums".

We need to come up with a new term for internet based photo collections other than "album". Albums should only be a physical object made from cardboard and paper.

IMO.

Too convenient for anyone to take a bunch of pictures with their iPhone, sign up on Facebook, and cobble together a bunch of photos of their dog, then announce "I just released my new album".

Great for the ego, not so great for the legacy of real albums.

IMO.

YMMV.

The word album is reserved for PNGs.

PNGs are newer than JPGs and therefore they are even worse.

TIFFS are way too big, and BMPs are the evil tool of Microsoft, so **** them. Anyone who uses TIFFs or BMPs should be castrated with a spoon (I don't recommend using it to stir your tea afterwards though).

Well I'll be.

The reason for the different file extensions dates back to the early versions of Windows. The original file extension for the Joint Photographic Expert Group File Format was ‘.jpeg’; however in Windows all files required a three letter file extension. So, the file extension was shortened to ‘.jpg’. However, Macintosh was not limited to three letter file extensions, so Mac users used ‘.jpeg’. Eventually, with upgrades Windows also began to accept ‘.jpeg’. However, many users were already used to ‘.jpg’, so both the three letter file extension and the four letter extension began to be commonly used, and still is.
Today, the most commonly accepted and used form is the ‘.jpg’, as many users were Windows users. Imaging applications, such as Adobe Photoshop, save all JPEG files with a ".jpg" extension on both Mac and Windows, in an attempt to avoid confusion. The Joint Photographic Expert Group File Format can also be saved with the upper-case ‘.JPEG’ and ‘.JPG’ file extensions, which are less common, but also accepted.
