I have been busy with my work, hence no blogs from long time. Well I think I will be relatively free coming weeks, this will give me sometime to write my blogs again.

Till then some facts on picture file formats

JPEG:
Good for:
+ Photographs
+ Game screenshots
+ Movie stills
+ Desktop backgrounds
Bad for:
– Windows application screenshots
– Line art and text
– Anywhere where fine lines or sharp color contrast is needed

PNG:
Good for:
+ Text, line art, comic-style drawings, general web graphics
+ Windows application screenshots
+ When absolutely 100% quality is required (24 bit)
+ When alpha channel support is required
+ As a general replacement for anything that is a non-animated GIF
Bad for:
– Photos, in-game screenshots (only when quality is not important and you’re looking for small files)
– Disappointing browser support from Microsoft and others

GIF:
Good for:
+ Where animations are absolutely required
+ Widespread browser support
Bad for:
– Patented, legal technicalities
– Large file sizes compared to PNG for the same quality
– Obsolete
