However, I seem to remember that Adobe had a hand in PNG with Lightroom, which I think defaults to PNG output for the export of photographs. Need to check that one out. There was some discussion about it being an Adobe proprietary format? Locking users to certain processes. Can't remember the details.
For my part, for best image quality, I save exposed images as NEF (RAW) in the camera, then process and save as TIFF. I export as JPEG at final size in about 80% quality depending on the intended use. For utility photography and bulk like time-lapse where absolute quality is not required I save as JPEG in camera.
I steer clear of PNG as far as possible, my needs being served by TIFF and JPEG, I don't see any point in involving another file format when the others get the job done, I very rarely create composite images with text and photographs.
