i am happy to start a thread on this. Hoping members will contribute to allow it to grow. Are you thinking only Image file formats, eg the different raw files each brand has plus JPG etc, or more ie adobe illustrator, in-design etc as well - as these can be used in a photographic/image sense, and thus include things like GIF Animated GIF etc as well?

I can use all the help I can get. Just don't make it too long winded

Sounds good to me, I think?:grinning01:
I just thought these few were explained well. As Ross says, "not too long winded"

That's a well explained, brief quick guide you've found there Gazza :)
As an artist, and in particular when I am doing digital art whether it's using art/drawing software or photo processing software, I often save my artwork in different image file formats (both raster and vector).
To give those of you interested, more in depth info about these different file types, comparisons between them and their uses, I've included 2 links that explain all and with photos/illustrations as well. :th3:
