Does it still save in one of the most basic but still GIGANTIC file sizes?
Don't hate on Bitmap files.
what are bitmap files? are they just a list of pixels or something else
That's pretty much it. Apparently the format optionally supports compression and even transparency, but last time I used paint it didn't do any of that, which is why the files were so massive.
