atw: Re: image file formats - suggestions wanted

Hi Matthew,

Others will probably give you more detailed and better information =20
than I can. However, my experience has been that bitmaps are about the =20
most memory intensive ways of storing images. It also depends on the =20
type of image: line drawings generally do well as tiffs, photos as =20
jpegs etc.

I look forward to others' responses.

Cheers,
Terry
