# wrong competition there
in fact, its a normal post.

oh, and don't post PNG files, especially 115KB ones. try exporting as a JPEG for stills, and GIF for animations

# and what is wrong with png?

# i prefer em to static gifs
personally

# s'right
none of this 1 bit transparency bollocks

# and as a bonus
the word ping is extremely satisfying to say

# but png files always seem to be a bit bigger than
their jpg eviqualents.

# it depends enitrely on the image
they're good for ones where you've put a jpeg onto a static coloured background or something
(I helped save b3ta! lemony, Mon 17 Nov 2003, 17:09, archived)
# you get good quality from them
but I don't think you get the same levels of compression.
Though I must admit I've only used them a few times, then I normally do animations.

# nothing per se
except they bork up in some versions of mozilla. (my binary asked for a plugin for it, fer chrissakes)

plus that one is huge for its dimensions.

anyway, i save ALL of my images in png, but i remember to export them that's all.

we were all n00bs once

# fireworks?
(I helped save b3ta! lemony, Mon 17 Nov 2003, 17:08, archived)
# png for my fireworks
and obviously psd for photoshop, but i import into fireworks anyway for better compression.

# better compression from fireworks?
i always used to go the other way... i'd make anims then go to imageready/photoshop for compression

# ah yes
but my copy of photoshop is utter bum poo anyway, damn kazaa...

# nice pic ;)
if you export as a jpg, the image will be about 10% in filesize.

glad to have you on board!

# Photos work better as jpgs
whilst vector images should be gifs or pngs.
In this case a jog would be about 16k and a 8-bit png about 25k, but the quality's not as good.

# if the source is bad though
there's little difference

# If you export as a 8-bit png
they're generally smaller than gifs.
(I helped save b3ta! butchbint, Mon 17 Nov 2003, 17:10, archived)
# true
but 16-bit ones go over the top
(I helped save b3ta! lazygamer VS tittybiscuits, Mon 17 Nov 2003, 17:12, archived)
# png...
...is perfectly acceptable in my book.

It is a little large for a still pic though.
