[QUOTE="ovbg, post: 1073097, member: 162687"] Can I ask why you would save as a BMP file? BMP is uncompressed, so photos will be extremely large compared to JPG. For general use, JPG is an excellent format that is widely supported and since the photo was from the web, it is most likely already in the JPG format and sRGB colour space already. If you are worried about losing quality, keep that setting at the higher end. JPG's are not good for diagrams or non photography images though and GIF would be a good option then. But, if you want an uncompressed format like BMP that is good for photos or other images, TIFF is quite widely supported. BMP just seems like such a retro format, oversized and without the options of TIFF and is not supported everywhere. [/QUOTE]
