Poll question: jpg vs. gif

[Emops]

1. Apples and oranges, aren't they?

Of course, I'm tech illiterate, so what do I know?

[Deja Q]

3. Wasn't that guy in that movie "Scanners"?

2. PNG

jpg is lossy, but full color. GIF is not lossy, but only 256 colors. PNG is full color and not lossy.

4. lossy?

5. It means that every time you change and save the image, you lose quality.

That's why JPG files are so small... they use visual tricks and remove parts of the file that the human eye won't notice.

Same thing as MP3/WMA and pretty much all audio/video formats. Each time you change it and save it, the quality gets worse.

6. crayons on a black and white monitor screen

And of course lots of windex each time I click on a new page.

7. .PNG is my format of choice

Best quality and colour for the file size.

but if I must I'll use .JPG

.GIF is only one that can do animations so that's a plus, and it's small size makes it ideal for say, DU or AIM avatars

I wish I could find that JPEG that carries that slogan.
