So I am curious why no one is using SI pic? That is the native format.

        png is an excellent format regardless of what it was designed
        for. But yes, it's true they aren't for everything.

                I use png's as much as possible, never seems to be a
                problem with texturing or rendering.

                Good lossless compression keeps re-load times down
                when compositing.

                Flame/Smoke can't load them of course!

                What do people here use as a standard format?  I
                always thought tiff
                was the least offensive format but after running into
                some issues with
                the byte order bs we're wondering if png's might be
                better?
