Digital BW, The Print

I think it was Austin that pointed out here, or someplace else, that 
compressed TIFF often ends up with a *larger* image than 
uncompressed TIFF. I've proved this to myself on numerous 
occasions. PNG seems to be gaining popularity, but I've never 
checked its compression.

I'm skeptical of archiving anything in any format but those most 
common - even in PS native format; who knows what you'll have to 
open it with in ten years. I've got some FD Painter files in native 
format on some CD somewhere - those may well become lost 
images.
