Photoshop EPS: (161
KB)
EPS stands for Encapsulated PostScript format which is based on
the PostScript printing language. Most EPS graphics are created
and edited in a draw and paint application like Illustrator or Freehand.
However, the primary use for saving an image as an EPS in Photoshop
is when you have created clipping paths. QuarkXPress will only recognize
clipping paths when graphics are saved in EPS format.
TIFF: (1,463
KB)
TIFF is the most widely supported graphic file format in existence.
It is primarily used for scanned images (mostly scanned photographs)
and is the best graphic file format (besides EPS) for use in desktop
publishing applications. Graphics saved in TIFF format can be easily
opened on both Macintosh and PC/Windows platforms.
GIF: (By Width: 400
pixles, 200
pixles, & 100
pixles)
GIF format is primarily used for creating Web graphics. It only
supports 256 colors (which keeps GIF file sizes down) and is widely
supported on all computer platforms.
JPEG: (By Width: 400
pixles, 200
pixles, & 100
pixles)
JPEG is most commonly used for Web graphics. Unlike the GIF format,
which only supports 256 colors, JPEG supports millions and allows
for graphic compression. It's also a handy file format if you frequently
switch from Mac to PC platforms because JPEG graphics can be easily
opened in both Macintosh and Windows applications.
PNG: (By Width: 400
pixles, 200
pixles, & 100
pixles)
Along with GIF and JPEG, PNG may be the next graphic file format
to be supported by Web browsers but for now it seem to be going
nowhere.

PC-compatible computers.
