bring back bmp and tiff formats
Ugh. I was so happy when jpg or gifs came Into common use. bmp and tif files took so long to load.
My scanner defaults to .tiff for some reason if I scan from the button and it cannot be changed. Have to scan from gnome-document-scanner if I want different formats.
TIFF was invented for scanners and is lossless, out at least less lossy than jpg
Good to know, didn't realize it was lossless! For me the format I usually need my scans in is pdf, but that is useful info!
Back in the 90s, I was asked to critique a local business web site. I noticed a picture wasn't loading correctly on Netscape Navigator when it was working fine on IE. Turned out, the designer had stuck in a 5MB BMP image. This when a whole lot of people were still on 56K modems.
i'm a chaos gremlin.
excellent.
Fuck no
Wasteful. Just use an Amiga IFF file.
PCX 4 lyfe!
