Explanatory notes
This competency refers to the ability to select the right file format for specific needs and tasks.
Rationale
Choosing the right file format is crucial because different formats have different properties and uses.
Example
When saving an image for printing, the TIFF format may be the best choice due to its lossless quality. For images on the web, however, the JPEG format with high compression and good quality is more suitable.
