No.
If you output as PPM or PNG, you can have from 5 up to 16 bits per chanel 
integer values.
PNG offers good compression.
PNG can also have an alpha chanel of the same lenght as the colour chanels.
At some time, there was RAW and DMP, but they were discarted as obsolete. They 
were still integer based.
