Optimal actor image file type

Had a quick look through the forum and I can't see this addressed.

Is there an optimal file type for actor images? If so, what are the benefits?

Thank you

    Gamesalad prefers .PNG files. If you import a .JPG file for example, Gamesalad will convert it to a .PNG file anyway.

    Make sure to use 72 dpi images.

    And always keep these ratios:
    8 x 8
    16 x 16
    32 x 32
    64 x 64
    128 x 128
    256 x 256
    512 x 512
    1024 x 1024
    2048 x 2048
    or
    32 x 64
    8 x 256
    1024 x 512
    I hope you got my point.

    You don't always have to stick to those ratios, for example if you have a 400 x 500 pixel actor there would be absolutely no benefit in making it 512 x 512 pixels.
