Replies britishguy Posted at 4:27 am on Dec. 2, 2008 PNG is lossless and it also has support for alpha transparency. For web graphics I liek to use PNg because of that, however you have to rememebr that IE 6 doesn't support PNG transparency. JPEG is better for photos because although it is lossy, the compression is much better and it is designed to take advantage of the way the human brian sees an image so that the data discarded is not so noticable. Certainly with large files I'd use JPEG. The difference even between a 100% quality JPEG and a 75% quality is not every noticable in most conditions but can represent as much as 60% compression. So I say PNG for graphics and JPEG for "natural" or large images. shyriluv Posted at 5:17 am on Dec. 1, 2008 PNG....yup clearer picture! YeahBoii Posted at 5:13 am on Dec. 1, 2008 I usually use PNG for high quality stuff.

Avatars for LW I either always do in JPEG or GIF because of size. Avatars for elsewhere or other images I may edit in Photoshop, I save as PNG. lisababyyy Posted at 4:31 am on Dec. 1, 2008 i always use JPEG Dannay Posted at 4:26 am on Dec. 1, 2008 I've never used PNG, i don't think zb Posted at 4:21 am on Dec. 1, 2008 Depends on what you'll use the picture for. If you want lossless quality then use PNG or if you want small size use JPEG. bigredron Posted at 4:19 am on Dec. 1, 2008 jpeg is better compresssion wise but png is better because it is lossless All 10 previous replies displayed.
