Both formats, briefly
PPMIN
PPM is deliberately plain: a short text header followed by raw RGB values, with no compression and no structure to parse. That is what you want when you are writing image code yourself or piping frames between command line tools, because reading and writing it takes a few lines. It belongs to the Netpbm family, next to PGM for grayscale and PBM for pure black and white. The files are enormous, so convert before sending one anywhere.
JPGOUT
JPG is where photographs end up by default. Its compression discards detail the eye is unlikely to notice, so a camera shot fits in a few hundred kilobytes instead of tens of megabytes. That suits scenes built from gradients and texture. It suits screenshots and line art badly, because the discarded detail shows up as smudging around hard edges. Every re-save loses a little more, so keep an original if you plan to edit the file more than once.
