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.
