I would call this one of the BIG misconceptions, that there is a "best"
format (or a "best" graphics programs, or, "best" computer, or,.....). Like
most things in life there is no best way. There is only a most appropriate
trade off depending on circumstances. In other words, it depends on what you
want to use the file for. Try to learn what the properties
(colour depth, compression, compatibility,...) of the different file types
are and then make a decision in each case as to what suits best.

Sorry if that sounds like a rant, but this is something I battle every day
working an a Help Desk.

    So which formats are better than the other?
    If you had to use a scale of 1 - 10 ...is png better than jpeg, gif etc.
    I assume the bitmap is the best, or maybe not...you tell me.
