**think

PNG

i usually use PNG but it`s sometimes a big file so i have to use JPG sometimes..

[sherryvu]

i think png is best because the jpg and gif sometimes loses it's color after awhile

[Caustic]

.gif is just plain bad.

.jpg is better, but has some problems with edges

.png is the best but file sizes are big

[xlilaznmonkeyx]

ok danx guys!

[*Fallen_Fairy*]

png is by far the best, nothing can compare to the quality

[*FreeStickers*]

PNG and GIF. JPG...ick.

[tofumonzter]

this shouldn't be a poll.
it's obvious that .png is the best.
png are unlike the others. it caculate where should the color be, it doesnt use pixel, it caculate.

PNG uploads faster from what i heard

[DrNick311]

Ok here's how it goes:

PNG = best quality, largest file size (sometimes over 1 mb, bad for 56k people)

JPG = medium quality, medium file size (usually 100-200 kb)

GIF = worst quality, smallest file size (usually under 100 kb, and is also the only one that supports animation)

Depends on what you want to do. i use GIF for transparent images. Jpg for web layouts and pictures. PNG for high quality images.

yepp that about explains it, but it's also important to note there's png8 and png24. check here for more info, 'cause i lazy ;x haha i don't know if people can really see the difference, but for the people with good monitors, you can see the gradient differences between png8 and png24 ;o

png is higher quality than others, but the file size is a bit too large for my liking.
i usually use jpg

[boysbr3akhearts]

I usually use PNG. If the image is small and doesn't have too many colors I just use Optimized GIF. I use Optimized JPG when I post pictures on my Xanga, since it doesn't take as long to load as PNG and holds all of the color (unlike GIF).

[aznbabiicutie]

i use .gif the most but now that i read your comments..i think i should start using .png or not..

actually png loads reallie slow compared to gif and jpeg

[boysbr3akhearts]

Well, it really depends on the size of the image and how many colors it has. You just have to use your best judgment on what file type is best for your particular image.

png

[Levy2k6]

i use jpg more than png but thats because i got dial up and yeah.... .gif's are great tho and of course png is good.

[Phischie]

I use JPG the most... and it's by far the best. I stay away from PNG and only use GIF when I make transparent images.

With photoshop, you can adjust how the JPG, PNG, GIF, etc. quality. When set on the highest (12), a JPG can look as great as any PNG. The only problem is that it's a huge file size and that it can take a while to load on a 56KB (dial-up) modem (when the quality is set 12 at least)

So I put my vote for JPG.

[anunknownuser]

png is the best becasue it is the equevelent of a photoshop raw file. It is also verylarge, so an uncompressed jpg is next on the list, but then the uncompressed jpeg sized jumps way up.
