If photos, you DO want jpg or TIFF. BMP are very low res. Paint Shop Pro will convert TIFF or jpg to non-vector types(bmp is one such type, there are quite a few types of non-vector image file types), and there is an inexpensive image manager that works with it.
In this case, you need a fast system to store things that fast, or HUGE amounts of RAM and an operating system that can deal with the large storage load both in RAM and HD while letting you work with photos or pictorial things. Either that, or what you have will not print right-- high res enough to be printable takes one heck of a lot of storage capacity and a decent amount of computer speed, I have seen 16 MB file sizes out of normal photos with very high quality(1200x1200 or better) and 8 MB (1280x1024) is more normal than rare for photos before they are compressed for the web (I use Paint Shop Pro for that and many other things).
If you did not realize this, that is why computers are slow for heavy photo work, they have lots of data to go over several times to get things decent, just for one major change. For each 8 MB photo, expect the programs (the better ones) to grab three times that in RAM and load themselves into 48 MB or more RAM(plus base system, you then have at least 128 MB IN USE for photo work-- 512 MB systems, to 1.5 GB systems, are normal for digital photo work of heavy duty kinds. They also need very good video cards that handle 2D hyper well and limited 3D layering is a real bonus as the photo programs are coded to show things with semitransparent color layers to show things like alpha blends, work areas for filters, etc-- 64-128 MB video card is good for this, as minimum.).
One reason I use Paint Shop Pro is that it is modularized for use in normaller systems. ALL the modular parts do not load at once by default, especially the parts that do heavy editing and changing to photos. Those load on demand.
i'm going to be trying to take 30-100 .jpeg screenshots per second in counter-strike for given amount of time. I have a 120gig hd. AMD barton 2500+OC@2.2ghz, Pc3200 512mbs Corsair XMS, Radeon9500 unlocked to R9700, Asus A7n8x Deluxe mobo, yadda yadda yadda. u get the picture. Basically all my freinds have made a movie, and I would like to capture my video in a diffrent way...maybe trying to get higher quality than them and have lower file size.. with the compression and encoding of the video right now, they use Geekplay/SK player, VideoMach, Vegas, and Adobe Preiemer. I would like to use Adobe Preiemer and Vegas 4.0 but I just dont want to use Geekplay and Videomach if I can avoid it
