Quoting Ferret:
www.ferretgames.com/imageupload for the second time...
your server is down? or did you remove the service?

Quoting PEader:
Dennis is just spamming crap again.
It wasn't meant to be crap :p hmmm maybe I was too theoretical. Practically I just mean this:

-> take screenshot
-> convert to PNG
-> too big (more than 1024 kB) ? --> use JPG (depends of # colors) or hyperlink to PNG

Basically JPG is only necessary if you use MANY colors and a very high resolution.

If you want to study every pixel, use lossless (PNG)

And text looks crap in JPG because it's often too aliased. Since many games often have text on their screenshots maybe it's better to use PNG screenshots here. For this game we might want to study every pixel of art, thus Frimkron's opinion.

Looking back on this, I think I just can't stand low quality images. >_<;;

I mean all the pictures I make, I save as pngs. It pains me to decrease the quality by saving as jpgs. I can't stand to ruin the poor things.

And yes, Dennis, Ferretgames is currently down. According to Ferret, it'll be back up soon.

Unless you don't see the difference, as in photo's. I tested it, a PNG was 10 MB and a JPG was 200 kB, and you could NOT see any difference. (the upload timed out for the PNG but I'll upload it tonight :))

JPG is only good for photos though (that's why photo cameras use it)
