i print my pics off as 8x10 i know not really a "scrap page" standard size, but i frame them and get them printed at sams club in 4x6 as well
now ive always printed them from a saved jpeg file, im wondering if anyone uses bmp , and of anyone knows which one produces the better printd pic

I always print photo's as either jpeg or tiff files. I think it's mainly a matter of the file compression and image resolutions that give the better prints. Tiff is my personal preference because I also tend to order prints at larger sizes than the norm (e.g. poster sizes). For my 8x10 photo prints I tend to use jpeg.

BMP (bitmapped) converts the file into tiny black or white dots. Don't convert you files to that, print from JPG or TIF.
