I would guess that maybe many minllab printers will not handle .BMP images, so you would have to return to them for reprints (or at least folks without a PC would). That would be the advantage to them.

The people in the store were clear ... I wasn't because I used the tem "bitmap" instead on BMP.
So, with all this technical talk, which is really very interesting, my original questions remain unanswered ... at least it seems so:
Why use a BMP file to burn the images on a CD when everyone else seems to be using something other (or are they)? What is gained or lost by using the BMP > TIFF/PSD scenario? Is better to use a TIFF or PSD right from the beginning, no?
