Why is there two ways to export a photo?
Hi. I wasn't sure how to phrase the question, but...
In my Mac Photos, I can drag a photo on to my desktop. Fine.
Then I tried to File/Export the same photo in full size onto my desktop. Both pictures appear now.
But the photos are different when I click the info on each:
The first is less than half the file size (ie 2.1 MB) and is titled '.jpeg'
The second has a bigger file size (ie 5MB) and is titled '.jpg'
Both are the same resolution (ie 4032 x 3024) and 72 pixels/inch.
No big crisis, but why does it happen like this? Is there a useful reason? I've tried the same thing on different photos.
Thanks!
