I mean, for archival and transport. They are slower to load and save
because of the heavier compression.
For day to day work, PICs and TGAs are comparable and only 8bit.

Yes. PNG. Best lossless format around. It supports 8 and 16 bits,
interlace, and it's open source. You can even create a Quicktime in
PNG and it will keep the alpha.

Sorry, it wasn't meant to sound like a reaction. We send material to
the USA and sometimes it's usefull to use pict because it uses
lossless compression, handy for fitting larger amounts of animation
(sequences of frames) on fewer DVD's. I know soft pics also have
lossless compression, but the format isn't supported at the place we
send the material to, whereas pict's are. Jpegs aren't lossless and
Tiffs take up masses of space, so picts are quite usefull, still.
Is there a more up-to-date alternative?
