JPEG stands for Joint Photographic Expert Group, an international standards body that sets standards for creating and handling compressed digital images.

The JPEG file format is widely used as a means of compressing digital images, particularly those produced by digital cameras.

Contrast in design can be accomplished by placing two opposite colours adjacent to one another, creating a focal point within the design that dominates the composition.
The surface quality of an element.
A print that the printer receives to monitor the progress of production. Proofing is a matter of looking at the print to ensure that it has been printed correctly and that the colours are rendered accurately.
