Question
Dear Sir, i am also a graphic designer but not sure about file format in adobe photoshop, hope you send me the complete answer for all (JPEG, Tiff, Gif, Png...)

Answer
Hi Alam,
Your question is not clear enuf.

If you wanted technical info of the formats:

JPEG: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JPEG
TIFF: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TIFF
GIF: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GIF
PNG: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portable_Network_Graphics

If you wanted to know simple use of each:

JPEG: Its the compressed Image format which is used for websites and all other on screen projects.

TIFF: High Quality uncompressed image format, used for printing purpose. Any thing you wanna print, its recommended to save it in TIFF format.

GIF: Compressed format capable of showing multiple frames. Used for animated graphics you see in the websites. Transparent background is possible in GIF but a feathered edge cannot be achieved in GIF.

PNG: Uncompressed Image format used for transparent images. Mostly for icons/logos or transparent images with feather edges in the websites.

hope this'l suffice.
