Jared,

TIFF, is a standard that is recognized for both Macs and IBM's.  If the
images are in color, I think GIF, might be the way to go.  TIFF is a
standard accepted mostly by desktop publishing companies.  It was
designed by Aldus, and several other companies to be a standard for
desktop pubilishing.  The developers made the source code for reading,
writing, and compressing images public domain, so any vendor could
easily make his application read and write TIFF files.  It definitely
works on IBM's and Mac's.  I know that it works well for B&W and
grayscale images, but I've never used it with color, so I'm not sure.
