Jpeg or PNG?
I have never used the PNG format for anything. I find it useless since Jpeg and Gif do the job a lot better so I was pretty pleased to find this website that actually proves this. PNG might be better file format but the files are much much more larger then Jpeg and Gif which doesnt make it very practical. [Link]

Dude, PNG is a vector format… completely different to JPG and GIF

Dude, you are sooooo wrong. PNG is NOT a vector format, eps, pdf and ai are examples of vector formats.

well, i always use PNG for logos or if i need to export images to flash since it’s provide me with high-qaulity transparent image with clean edges …
the big difference between PNG and JPG that the PNG is a vector graphic and JPG is a bitmap graphic which give you diffrenet results at the end …

How is PNG vector? I think you guys have the definition of vector graphic wrong.
You can not have an image as a vector graphic.

you are right Mark, PNG is Bitmap Graphic format, i thought its Vector for the clean edges that it give me…
actually the diffrenece is that the PNG give you transparncey with unlimited colors, not like JPG which cant give you Trancprancey …
but as i said before its useful for exporting to flash ….
Thanks Mark…

yeah PNG is a combination of jpg and gif. but the problem is PNG file sizes are really large and there are only a very few situations where PNG is an advantage. me and nibaq were discussing this earlier, his KuwaitBlogs buttons are in PNG format. When we saved it as a gif the size dropped by 57%.

PNG os always better when u make transparent pics, better quality that gif’s

thats also not true. It depends what you are trying to get transparent. if your image just involves solid colors or type, gif will do as good a job in a smaller sized file.
