Digital BW, The Print

It's amazing how quickly you can fill a CD disk if you store several
versions of an image. This is especially true if you are stitching a
composite made of, say, a set of three photos across married to
another set above it and a third set below. So despite the cost of
even good CDs, I'd like to choose a *lossless* compression scheme: I
can see storage space will be the real problem, not raw material
cost. ZIP takes a long time, but *Real World PShop* likes it. After
reading
the specs on .PNG, however, I'm inclined to adopt this format
instead. It's much faster than .ZIP, and just as protective of the
image. What
I don't know is how many of the image archivers support it. Does
anyone use .PNG on a regular basis?
