What about Tiff? If I had to save an image in the highest quality format without it having to be a .BMP, of course the obvious choice would be TIFF.

Wow….it was nice to know that you can actually compress a formerly compressed jpeg. These tips are very helpful for anyone working with print design compression. Thanks for such a great post.

what happened to png, bmp etc? not really considered as compression formats but some images would actually save smaller without appreciable loss of quality using by using them.

I've had many instances of working on Macs, and sending Zip-compressed files (for PC clients to open-and-file on their corporate servers) and all would expand well except the Mac fonts, which would become useless.

also important to note that in JPEG compression it's possible to compress a formerly compressed jpeg—that each time you SAVE a jpeg it compresses it again. So every time you make an edit and resave that same jpeg you're downgrading it's quality, even if your settings are the same you used last time...
