Lmp isn't anything, it's just DOS shorthand for "lump". That said, I understood you meant Doom's picture format, and it's a bad idea.
It's a paletted format (so, say goodbye to truecolor screenshots -- and yeah, ZDoom has partial truecolor display on Windows since HUD elements (including weapon sprites) are displayed in truecolor thanks to [wiki]Direct3D[/wiki]) which isn't supported by any image editing tool. So you'd have to load them up in SLADE 3 to do anything with them first... And guess what? SLADE 3 supports PNG.
There isn't any case when exporting to a format different from PNG would actually be a good idea.
