  It depends on how you define "lossless".
  GIF is lossless for a 256-color image. However, if you try to save a
truecolor image in GIF format, it will be lossy (it has to convert the
image to 256 colors).

  Does it matter? If one pixel is one value (out of 256) more reddish with
povray than with another program, is it a big deal? I think no-one will
notice the difference.
