Bitmap is an uncompressed image format? [ms paint] [line drawing]

Q: Im doing something in here at my desk and I want him to take home to work on tonight. Is a 24-bit bitmap a good format to use if I do not want to lose picture data? It is a black and white , but I do not want funny stuff. I would save as TIFF, but Im in in Windows 2000 and that option is not there.

if it's just black or white, you can just use a 1-bit bitmap :P

i agree. not point in using 24bit color if there's black, white and a few shades of gray.

bitmap is lossless, perfect format for doing what you want. no need to convert to tif.
