Microsoft says this format is better than Bitmap for printing to high-quality printers, but the on-screen image will appear slightly modified. This is the new and improved version of the WMF format as it supports 32-bit color. It supports 16-bit color but was left to the wind when Microsoft created the 32-bit color format called Enhanced Metafile. This file format was created to work with Microsoft Windows and works well with MS Office. If file size is not an issue and you want great on-screen quality, this would be the file type you would want to go with. This file format can take up a lot of memory and disk space, but is exactly as you see on the screen.

Portable Network Graphics also allow for a transparent background, making this format great for icons. This file type can contain thousands of colors and has a better compression algorithm than a GIF. Pronounced "ping", this format was a spin-off of the GIF format. This format is typically not used anymore unless you are wanting an animated image (aka animated GIF) or are needing the format for compatibility reasons with old software. Simple cartoons and icons are good examples of images that would be better off saved as a GIF instead of a JPEG. This is an old school format and is best to use with images that have just a few colors with no color fades (blending). Transparent backgrounds are not supported by this format and any transparency is typically converted to the color white. JPEG supports 24-bit colors and the level of compression can be increased or decreased depending on the capabilities of the software you are using. This format is best for realistic images that blend and have shadows (ie a picture you took with your camera).
