yes i am a newb, and i was wondering what the better quality image types were.
when i export from PS i have the option of everything from BMP and JPEG, to PCX and PNG.
some of these i know and most i dont. so firstly what are these different file types? and more importantly, which are the better quality images?
thanks in advance |

Depends upon your output really. I normally provide clients with a TIFF. I always provide a lossless format but some clients still prefer JPEG which is obviously a lossy format, for some reason.

so TIFF is the best quality?
what do you mean by it depends on your output? you mean it depends on what you are using it for?
