RE: Why JPGs for screen captures? test results

["Gregory Sweet" <Gsweet -at- cdphp -dot- com>]

The only noticeable difference between the originals was that the JPG had some artifacts around the edges of items and text. Otherwise, on my setup, there was no visible difference between GIF, TIF and BMP. So therefore consider file size and GIF wins again with a 97% smaller file size.

I have to ask, though--why didn't you compare image quality at 100%
rather than just looking at the images you resized?

> Clarity of resulting image (original ommitted for obvious resons)
> Photoshop reduced images
> PNG illegible
> GIF illegible
> JPG illegible
> TIF illegible*Best print quality
> BMP illegible

All the reduced images were illegible. But what about the un-resized
images? There would be significant differences between them in these
different formats (in quality and/or size).
