TIFF - (Tagged Image Format) is supported by Mac and PC, it can be brought into virtually every page layout program, and the LZW Compression method works well to reduce file size.

PDF - files always display exactly as created, regardless of fonts, software, and operating systems. PDF files always print correctly on any printing device. View with Adobe Acrobat Reader.

PSD (Native Photoshop)This format will preserve any Layers, filters, and effects that you may want to alter. Keep this file in addition to the original and the final image.

EPS - (Encapsulated Post Script) an eps file is best used for print, since it can contain a vector format which is device (i.e., printer) independent and delivers the best output at any size/resolution for any printer.

TXT - If you're trying to get text from one machine, or software to another, and you're not having any luck, try exporting your document as a text file. You'll have to reformat it, but at least you won't have to retype it.

PNG (Portable Network Graphics) and is generally pronounced "ping." PNG is used for lossless compression and displaying images on the web. The advantage of PNG is that it supports images with millions of colors and produces background transparency without jagged edges. The disadvantages are that PNG images will not show up on older browsers, and still can be comparatively larger in file size than GIFs.
