DOWN WITH .JPG

Seriously, keep going with .png. .jpg pixelates and eats colors. If you use .png, I also suggest choosing the option to save it as non-interlaced.

CLEARLY YOU FEEL STRONGLY ABOUT THIS.

Lol, thank you for the advice/heads up. (Y) I feel like I've been lied to all this time about .jpg. xD

Oh believe me, I felt the same way when I found out. XDD
I was taught .jpg was a GOD and then I discovered .png.

I use .png. It's not only a smaller file, but it's better quality. When working on my college's newspaper, the photographers were required to use .jpg for photos to be PRINTED, but .png for files intended for the Website, and I asked the adviser, who was the photography department chair, why this was, and he went off for like 10 minutes saying complicated things I didn't understand, but what was clear was that it was mucho imporante to use .png for online photos. lol.

Dude, seriously, I think I kind of love your college newspaper. It sounds like they gave you so much useful advice! 8D But really, thanks for that information. I think I've actually learned something useful from this, lol.

Melbourne is full of cold weather and swine flu. D: So nothing new, lol. The city is severely lacking without your presence. 8] Hope everything's alright on your side of the world. <3

For the best quailty of arts/photos would have to be .tiff, but that file size is just to big so .jpg is the 2nd best. :D I usualy use .png for my icons and .jpgs for wallpaper/headers.

I think I remember reading somewhere that .tiff was the best quality but also huge when it came to file size, so I didn't know if it'd be worth it. Thank you for your help! I hope I can move onto wallpapers and headers soon. :D

COMMENT JUMP COMMENT JUMP.

I know that .tiff is often used in animations and big projects like thaaaat. I've never actually seen anyone use .tiff for like icons or anything, though, and that's probably due to its size. If you like to keep your past projects (like I do) you're best off with .png.
