JPG's can still look good and be downloaded at a reasonable time and speed. Such is why I use them. PNG's look great (tho I've never really saved files as PNG unless I wanted to use them in Flash) but have horrible download time. It took forever to download a PNG when I had dial-up (I have high speed internet now) but JPG's never did. GIF's are the same why when they are animated. (which is why I hate all the animated GIF's on the forum...
 )I think that most ppl think PNG is the best is because they see so many crappy quality JPG's. I, on the otherhand, know how (and have seen) to make very good quality JPG's and still have a reasonable download time.

GIF's can only hold 256 colors so something with millions of colors (ie. photos) would lose lots of quality. A JPG, on the other hand, can hold up to 16.7 MILLION colors. If your JPG's are blurry, then it probably means that your quality is low.

QUOTE(boysbr3akhearts @ Aug 12 2004, 10:29 PM) 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.Agreed. When I have a small image with a minimal amount of colors, .gif is the best way to go. I rarely use .png due to its large file size. With .jpg, you just need to learn how to control the settings. When I'm saving in Photoshop using Save for web... I usually choose maybe 80% to 95%(even going as low as 75%) for the quality. That way the image still looks sharp while the file size is an acceptable amount. |

Photoshop tells you how long it will take for the image to load with dial-up when you save the image. I find that very helpful when I'm designing and JPG is USUALLY under 5 seconds for a small image.

png is the best quailtiy but it takes a long time to load up.
i like jpg the best because its loads fast while maintaing a good photo quality. when i change pics to gif it makes these marks on the orginal picture that wasn't there before |

Png, high quality, plus it can be scaled to any amount without losing that quality. I don't use png all that much though, mainly jpg. I try to make my xanga compatable for all users (all your 56k people!!) grrrrr

I use...usually png. Or I'll use the highest quality setting to set and save as a .jpg. For me a gif is a total NO! I love PNG the most, because it has the same quality as a 24 bitmap but smaller in size. =)
