"Data type describes how much colour information the image is saved with. The more colour information included in the file, the larger the file tends to be. The highest colour data type is True Colour and files saved with this data type can be very large. Indexed-256 and Greyscale each contain up to a maximum of 256 distinct Colours and generally are quite small.

"Some file types that you can use are: BMP for saving your photos at the highest level of quality with no compression; JPEG for photos you want to use on the web or send via e-mail - it compresses photos with a small reduction in overall quality; UPX for saving photos with unmerged, free-floating objects. These objects can be used again when the file is re-opened.
