There was a very nice pullout in the October 1990 issue of MacUSER 
that was a chart of which programs could read, edit, save, etc., PICT,
PICT2, TIFF, COMPRESSED TIFF, and on and on.

It also had a summary on the back of the differences between the graphic
formats, 8-bit, and 24-bit, etc.  More than most would want to know.
