PNG format is the smallest file size
Authored by: tomhackett on Dec 24, '01 05:00:16AM

I found that the PNG format produces the smallest file size at about 250K.

The biggest file sizes are made using the PICT format 1.5 MB. JPEF and TIFF don't seem to use compression because they end up at about 800K in size.

These are of course just a quick test and perhaps further testing would provide better understanding of which is best and why, but for now I'm using PNG because it seems the most efficient.

PICT files are uncompressed. Therefore the JPEG and TIFF files are compressed (since they're smaller).
