PNG .. Or JPG? You decide.

Which one do you like? Im starting to like Png now...

While personally I like png each is usefull for thier own purpose. If you have an image with bold sharp edges between colors (like the above pic, or anything comicy etc) png is obviously superior, but for real life images the losses of quality in jpeg aren't so apparent (but still reduces the filesize).

Think animated pngs are going to be the future

png is loss-less

I use both equally though

I find it funny that that picture is against jpg, and yet it is a jpg.

Well...PNG is the sucessor to gif. gif was used for it's animation capabilities and transparencies, but it supported an absurdly low 8-bit of colors (yikes). PNG can handle transparency, animation, and displays images in true-color (16 million I think?)

JPEG is popular because of its compression - try setting your digital camera to save pics as .tiff and see how many fewer pics your camera can hold :O

(sorry, i had a basic art class two(?) semesters ago and remember having to learn this kind of booooorrrrrriiinnngggg stuff)

Not to mention how everyone will see my oily face.

JPG. Digital artwork and imagery is a huge part of my life, and unless you're saving your JPGs in MS Paint, a JPG will do you just fine. The only real point in a .png these days is for transparency when it's needed in graphics.

Programs these days can save .jpg's with no noticeable quality loss if that's what you want. There's no point in going .png for 90% of usage.

And if I'm wanting NO quality loss whatsoever, maintaining pixel for pixel, I'm not going .png. I'm going TIFF.

Most of the time I use PNG and TGA because the quality is better.

If you have dialup or extremely slow internet, JPG will be your best friend.
