<p>JPG, PNG, GIF, etc?</p>

<p>I still usually do JPG.</p>

2

<p>Yeah, I use JPG as well.</p>

3

<p>should I not be using jpg files for my photos? </p>

<p>"still usually" implies that this is the outdated way to save them...</p>

4

<p>I save it in whatever the program I am using typically saves it in, and if I run into an error, I switch it.</p>

5

<p>Jpg usually. Sometimes bmp.</p>

<p>There's PNG now, but I was Internet savvy before PNG became widespread. It seems to be used more than JPG now...</p>

<p>Encapsulated postscript is the way to be! Postscript is really the only well-known vector graphics format out there, so if you stick a really detailed .eps file into a .pdf file or something, then when people zoom in on the plot, no detail will be lost. The problem is that .eps files can be huge --- one of mine was 26 MBs or so, since it was a plot of ~40000 points done in Matlab. In general, though, .eps is far, far, far better than anything else.</p>

<p>Nikon RAW from the camera. :) I use uncompressed TIFFs for my art shots. I'm blowing up a few of those to like.... 24x40. jpgs are fine for anything else. btw.. if you plan on printing art quality stuff, try not to use a compressed format.</p>

<p>JPG for !photos (real life/people), GIF for graphics (drawings), PNG for either, but bigger file size (and higher quality). It depends on the situation.</p>

10

<p>jpg always is much clearer than others like gifs</p>

11

<p>jpg, bmp, tiff</p>

12

<p>jpg.</p>

<p>the only photoediting I do is on Photoshop, so it's always just easier to stick to jpg.</p>

13

<p>.eps!</p>

<p>But that's just became I'm Yearbook editor. Heh. =p</p>

14

<p>PNG and JPEG/JPG</p>

15

<p>Usually very large JPGs (mostly 3264 x 2448 pixels) and occasionally Olympus RAW format...but RAW is a pain to process on my crappy computer (even though you can do more editing with RAW files), so I stick with JPG.</p>

16

<p>PNG, baby, PNG all the way.</p>

17

<p>Most of the things I have on my computer right now are PSD, AI or PDF.I use JPG and PNG if I'm uploading something to devART.</p>

<p>PNG 4 Life.</p>

<p>I'll probably used Microsoft's HD Format now (Why ? Cuz I'm a Microsoft fanboy at heart :p )</p>
