Vue F.A.Q (Last Updated: 2024 Dec 13 6:58 am)
JPEG most of the time.
The renders I do before postwork are large enough to make compression defects negligible.
It's only when I know ahead of time what I will do will be for print that I use a lossless format, like TGA.
TIF or Bitmap - then I bring it into Photoshop (and After Effects depending on the project) for significant alterations or integration with something else.
Just like TGA - lossless formats, but yeah, they start out large files sizes to begin with.
For animations I use Quicktime: Animation Codec - lossless - and also huge!

Jpeg for test renders
Tiff for final renders without any of the compression options

I put banana in my curry too ...

I use PSD exclusively for all my work,- old habits die hard- but upon reviewing what others use, I may have to change my ways. Bananas and Curry is not as bad as it sounds. But nothing is worse than boiled peanuts -imho. My wife loves them and then tries to kiss me after she eats them. Now she has the kids liking them. -oh the horror!

Quote - PSD...and it's mostly because I'm use to it :)
Gill - I've got a recipe for you if you like banana in cooking :D
PSD for me is the best because I don't have to change the format when I save my postworkings as I always use several layers. And it saves the alpha info which I use often.
Ooh, yes please! I like bananas in most anything. Have been know to add it to scrambled egg. Love it mashed and grilled on toast and then smothered in golden syrup.
And I wonder why my bum's so big ? ;-)

PSD -guess old habits die hard and I like to use multipass rendering.
HATE boiled peanuts. My husband and I tried them once. Now when we travel and see the stands on the side of the road, we gag.
I like bananas, too. Actually, bananas and curry sounds good. I use bananas as a base for my bread dough in my bread machine. Gives the dough a little bit of sweetness, that plus the raisins and you don't use sugar.
Actually, recently I found a very noticeable diference in the final image when I saved out, but can't recall which format :/
I usually export as .bmp, but also got into habit of saving out a .tif or .psd as well, for back up, because...it's too easy to save over the original...which I'm very wary of, lol
Anyway, doing that I noticed one format was noticably degraded, but it wasn't saved out in a format or style that should have done that:
-like say, exporting as a .png but only 256 colours would be bad, it wasn't that extreme though,
nor was it as bad a change as that, as 256 usually causes "banding", this was more "grainy".
-I think it was a .tif or .psd that was poorer than normal.
Should have taken a note of it at time and investigated. Probably just a goof on my part (which os par for the course, haha), but it was very odd.
Peanuts?!

I never use PNG, as it has platform dependent gammas associated with it-- so images can look different from Mac to PC to Linux.
I prefer JPG at 100 quality, but if I'm network rendering a really large image with lots of tiles, I'll let it render in BMP as the JPG conversion at the end of the HyperVue render has been know to cause hiccups.
