For photographic images (eg, scanned or shot using a digital camera), JPEG<br />
at a high quality setting often provides the best compromise between image<br />
quality and file size. Keep in mind that JPEG is a lossy compression format.<br />
This means that minor, normally unnoticeable, details in the original image<br />
may be lost in the compression process. You may therefore want to save a copy<br />
in a loss-less format as well, in case you later want to manipulate the image<br />
again. Examples of loss-less formats are Photoshop, Targa (TGA) and PNG.<br />
For computer-generated images with large, smooth areas (eg, screenshots),<br />
PNG is a suitable cross-platform format. Alternatively, use the native PICT<br />
format under MacOS or BMP under Windows.<br />
Apple’s QuickTime technology is used to read all image files into WATCH-<br />
OUT. As QuickTime evolves, additional formats may be added. A complete list<br />
of image file formats supported by QuickTime can be found under Apple’s<br />
