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.
