LOL Tenshii...I scrimped and saved for quite a while to get 1/2 what I needed for the computer I had built for me last year. Then...much to my glee, I made a good trade on some options I had with a company I worked for and got the rest of the money I needed. So, it was part spendthrifty saving and good deal of luck that got me my nice, droolworthy machine ;)

Sadie, I know there's a definite difference, because I save my images as TIFF files myself. When I updated my GIMP, I noticed how BMP files would always open up blue/green/yellow and kind of oddish, in both GIMP and my main editing program (even though the thumbnail previews showed the shots in normal colors)... and PNG files had this "layering" about it that would screw up when you saved your edited image (for example, say you had hair and clothes that used alphas, and they were in your pictures. Instead of the alpha channels staying transparent, where they're supposed to be, once you save your edited image, the "transparent" areas turn "grey"). I suppose this doesn't quite happen to everyone, but it has happened on my end... and annoyed me, because it never happened before until I updated. :dontknow:
TIFF files open up without such issues for me, and they don't "compress" like BMP, JPG, and PNG files (even though PNG compresses less than JPG and BMP, it still compresses nonetheless)... meaning you won't loose the full quality from that after editing or cropping your shots and saving them as JPG files. Plus the fact that they seemingly save at a consistent file size. All of my TIFF images are less than 3MB, while I notice all my old BMP and PNG files are all over the place from 1MB-6MB. May not be too noticeable at first, but I tried it out after I found out PNG are compressed a little after first saving. Hardly any difference, except in file size. :smile bi:
good explanation, tenshii :)
I use TIFF instead of photoshop files now. My computer can't read the photoshop-files other than inside photoshop itself, but it can read TIFF files (for previews, I mean). After finishing everything on the picture, I save a copy of it without layers and resized (for posting) as PNG, while saving a TIFF file with layers too.
I always save the original untouched TIFF file (in case something goes wrong with the copies), a TIFF file with layers, and a PNG file for posting (or JPG sometimes).

The one thing I can't figure out is, how you get that "glossy, glaze" effect on pictures?
Drives me batty.
