Re: Native high-quality PC image formats?

For part 2 of your question, these formats would all give the SAME quality
(assuming the image contained the same amount of pixels and color depth)

TIF
PNG
BMP

BMP is a microsoft format
I've seen many cases where TIFs give problems (particularly cross-platform)
PNG gets my vote any day.

GIF gives less quality, with it only supporting a max of 256 colors
JPG throws away information.
