Also, since I didn't see any follow-ups to the .PNG question...PNG files are "Portable Network Graphics," i believe I've had some experience with them. They are very crisp and a good format for saving less detailed images in, i.e. the less colours, the better. The file sizes for such files are quite small in comparison to their JPEG counterparts...however, if the image is very detailed, JPEG tend to be much smaller in size than PNGs...that's just what I've noticed... -Gryphon Avocatio- Lord Governor and Duke of all Yardistan - Minister of Research and Education, Shireroth - Shirerothian Elder - SAVE THE KIWI!! - Lover of Llamas Give me your child, and by the age of five, I can make him a priest or a thief or a scholar.

but if the image is detailed, jpeg artifacts will muck it up "Disclaimer: Whatever is in the above post is probably a result of my blind following of Kieran Bennett, because I have even less of a brain than Kieran. Don't even get me started on my lack of independent thought."

I haven't yet had MSPaint fuck up any JPEGs... but every damned GIF I make with that thing is just like... fuck...I opened the JPEG flag file, what, six whole colours? I save it as .gif, and it fucking blurs the whole thing into like six thousand colours! How the hell do you fuck up an image as simple as the Shirithian flag?! Ah, well... *grumbles at MSPaint*... at least it does PNGs, JPEGs, and BMPs okay for me...
