[tesseract-ocr] Pros and cons of .tiff vs .png

[teksts]

Hi all,

I'm fairly new to tesseract (and to programming work in general), and am 
trying to get my bearings. Almost everything I have seen recommends/assumes 
that I feed .tiff files into tesseract to be ocr'd, but I recently came 
across some posts suggesting that .png is less finicky, and might be better 
to use. What are the pros and cons of each filetype? Does it make much of a 
difference? Can I use .png for training purposes as well?

Thanks for your time
