  5. 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.
  6. 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…
  7. edvard answered: tiff for 300dpi print pdf content, but generally: no.
  8. ginandjesus answered: I don’t always use save for web, because most of the time I find it not necessary or even helpful.
