What's the difference between PNG, TIFF, BMP, and JPEG?

Publisher doesn't let you choose any of the options that allow JPEGs to produce good output (nor any other fine controls, really).

Publisher has "issues" with TIFF files, which is why I'm slightly hesitant to recommend them - it will export them in the same colourpsace as PNG, but they will occupy more disk space. PNG is a lossless format, but is (AFAIK) always 24-bit (or 32-bit if you include an 8-bit alpha channel). Publisher doesn't give you control over the compression level, but that doesn't matter like it does with JPEG, as the compression level does not determine the quality. BMP is lossless (at 24-bit, as far as Publisher is concerned, but theoretically I think you could go higher), but BIG.
