Tiff, not BMP? Can do.

BMP are lossless, too. I think tiff is my kneejerk response since that's what we request from authors. (Not that we get it, damn you, jpegs.)

Our wings are not tired.
BMP are definitely at the low end of resolution. Ask for raw, tiff. Jpeg at worst. All three of those can be printed beautifully on good photo paper.

BMP are definitely at the low end of resolution.
I don't understand this statement. A format is either lossy or it isn't. I thought that BMP, Tiff and RAW were all lossless. I like Tiff because there's built-in lossless compression. Am I wrong about any of this?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
BMP doesn't specify a resolution. It's lossless, but it has no compression, so it's pretty huge, so I'd avoid it. But BMP can be printed just as well or better than a JPEG. RAW files, as the name implies, are completely unprocessed, so you have to open them in a graphics application and process them, but they contain *all* the information from the camera's sensor so you can effectively develop the picture. Once it's converted to TIFF or JPEG, some of the information is lost. You might not want to do the work to make RAW into a printable format, but it does give you all the flexibility that's possible.

Because books.
Android question: My new phone is an LG Optimus. It has a default music player (which I like -- you can make playlists right on the phone, etc.) which works fine, except it doesn't seem possible to exit out of it completely; i.e. when you want to stop playing music, your option is a pause button, and there's no "exit player" function that I can find.
The problem is, every once in a while, it will just unpause and start playing again. Any suggestions?

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Don't know why it might be un-pausing, but if you want to shut the app down, go to Settings then Applications then Running, tap the Music app, then tap Stop.
Or something like that.

It hasn't done it in the last few hours, so I'll see if that works if it happens again. Thanks, dcp.

Amy, I have that issue with my phone and haven't found a reliable fix.

Turning the phone off and then on works, but that's annoying. And sometimes it doesn't do it, so.
