This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

It's not TIFF. This isn't NASA imagery. PNGs do alright on compression for photos.

(at least I hope NASA hasn't captured images of Quark)

PNG can zip but it's lossless, joh can lose data, and the difference is very significant

TIFF is also such a hot mess when it comes to picking the correct subformat because there are so many options for compression available, some of them FOSS, some of them proprietary. Edit: … and most of them quite dated.
