JPEG format? What idiot decided that rule?

will. · 14th Dec 2006, 20:56

Well, I did my packing, and my wii-motes have run out of battery and I don't have a car to go get more batteries, so I now have time to enter the comp. Yay!
PS. jpg can look okayish on maximum quality. Personally though; PNG all the way!

For a webcomic it can't be a bad choice - every webcomic I've read uses JPEG on the site.

I got it, a charter named Gordon Frohman.

I seriously believe that concerned could win it, but unfortunately it ended.

JPGs are the best choice for photos - nothing else. I guess the point is that if they require you to use JPG format, then that's just another person who thinks they know about graphics format when they don't. I guess that's just another of my pet hates though: people who think they know best when they don't. Hmm, I could make a good comic strip from this
