saved with. The more color information included in the file, the
larger the file tends to be. The highest color data type is True

Some file types you can use are: BMP for saving your photos at
the highest level of quality with no compression; JPEG for photos
you want to use on the web or send via e-mail - it compresses
photos down while retaining its overall quality; UPX for saving
photos with unmerged, free-floating objects. These objects can be
used again when the file is re-opened.
