Forum:JPEG compression pictures
Hey everyone. I just thought I'd let people in on something. When we get screenshots and stuff from the games, they should preferably be in PNG (Portable network graphics) image format. Each format has it's own use really. PNG is specifically for computerized images, JPEG is for photos, SVG is for drawings and diagrams, etc. If we use JPEG for our images, it loses a lot of quality, and I mean A LOT!!! So it is OK to upload in JPEG but PNG is preferred. And last thing, once a image is a JPEG, it is scarred (however you spell the past tense of scar) for life. The quality has been reckoned with and there is no going back. So don't upload an image in PNG if it was a JPEG. You can see the image is scrambled around major lines. Anyway, Cheers.
