.png Vs .jpg

the difference is quality.....although they are both at 72px quality online....its not the same off of the net
and also there is a such thing as micro pixels...the quality differs between the two of them

like kilo-byte doesnt=1k bytes...in actuality it is 1024 bytes....so measurements were rounded for the standard ppl

 

Are you talking off-the-net such as prints or viewing on a computer?

 

anything off of the net.....prints and on your computer

 

I'm pretty sure .jpg is the best for prints AND the most compatible.

 

there is no point in arguing with someone who isnt even in the business...my occupation is student, and 2nd occupation is graphics and web developer of mass media marketing......jpg is the most compatable but not the most proficient

 

Jpgs don't support transparency...simple as that. A lot of stuff (especially on this site) NEEDS to be transparent. The filetypes are there for two completely different things...if you want a picture, you use jpg...if you want it to be transparent...use png.

 

lol, thought we moved past the transparency.....o well, didnt think i needed to explain the transparent.....thought that was obvious lmao....2bad for novices (better than noob )

 

I was told to do .png for tags and .jpegs for LPs...

 

You should read my first post about how to make a .jpg transparent.

 

I've always used .png because I thought there was a difference in quality.

 

Not online. Nice text on your sig, by the way.

"my occupation is student, and 2nd occupation is graphics and web developer of mass media marketing"
Yeah... most students nowadays have that second occupation now. I wash cars and mow lawns.

 

<span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS">i don't know about all this .jpg 12 stuff but all i know is in some situations .png is better and in others .jpg is better

btw.....i only save .jpg's with the highest quality settings in Photoshop so it'll have the SAME quality as a .png........................whether the file size is bigger or smaller actually depends on the number of colors in the image itself</span>

 

And the amount of layers before saving
And the size
And the resolution...
And the compression rate...
And the amount of scans.....
:tongue:

 

I prefer .png files.

It might load longer but that is because the quality is a little bit better.
But of course .jpg files are better for websites and such because the colors of .png files vary in FireFox and IE so you won't get the same result in the end.

But it all doesn't really matter to me actually. I mostly use .png and I continue to do so.

That should sort things out.

I choose png.
