Notes:

GIF--Good for placement over colored backgrounds with the original background masked (cut out). Notice the edge of the GIF is rough when placed over a dark background.

JPEG--Good for placement on a white background. Maintains good image quality and best for photos with a few compromises. Always archive image at highest possible quality setting.

TIFF--Ultimate format for photo files and best for printing with inkjet or commercial printing. Can be generated with various compression and operating system preferences. Preserves layers if desired.
