  1. elfymer answered: Photoshop PDF. Can be edited.
  2. johncoltrane answered: TIFF instead of PSD. Always. It’s portable and backward compatible with every older Photoshop versions or other editors. Recommended over PSD
  3. kevinbarbee answered: PNG is great for creating transparent images for use on the web!
  4. Liza answered: EPS for layouts in Quark.
  5. ninly answered: Years ago I used EPS as a workaround to use an image in a QuarkXPress doc, but I don’t remember the details, and those days are long gone.
  6. jedfitch answered: only .tiff and .bmp because both of them were to replace some other system file. I don’t think i even know what most of them are.
  7. marshmellows answered: ico (via opensource plugin) for favico and other ico projects, png, gif and jpg for web, tiff for cinema 4D and photoshop PDF for print…
  8. edvard answered: tiff for 300dpi print pdf content, but generally: no.
  9. cyn1cal answered: I don’t always use save for web, because most of the time I find it not necessary or even helpful.
  10. andrewnonumbers answered: I always use PNG and never the Photoshop format for the sake of not having to convert before using on the web.
  11. ajlusuan answered: tiff, jpeg, png, bmp, photoshop for saving art works in differet ways

  16. lukees answered: Are you kidding? I export all my work to Scitex CTs (we call them SCTs in the BIZ). You know, for back up or whatever…

  18. datainsightsideas answered: All the time. .png is my fave.
  19. joshanumbersix answered: working with motion pictures i use TIFF a lot and cineon and DPX. DPX most all of the time. All for image sequences.
  20. ckck answered: PDF and TIFF for sure, but I guess they’re apart of the standard. The rest I guess s mostly just legacy compability.
