Here's a page I found with some useful information about graphics formats. Ever used a paint package? If so you will have seen there's loads of different formats you can save images as. This page gives a good description of what to use and when. www.r1ch.net/img-formats/Really handy for anyone with a photo from a digital camera, but can't upload it to the internet because it's too big.. For quick easy way to upload your images use ImageShack or Photobucket.

JPEG: Good: Photographs Game screenshots Movie stills Desktop backgrounds Bad: Windows application screenshots Line art and text Comic strips Anywhere where fine lines or sharp color contrast is needed PNG: Good: Text, line art, comic-style drawings, general web graphics Windows application screenshots When accurate reproduction (lossless) is required (24 bit PNG) When alpha channel support is required As a general replacement for anything that is a non-animated GIF Bad: Photos, in-game screenshots (only when quality is not important and you're looking for small files) Disappointing browser support for 32 bit PNGs from Microsoft and others GIF: Good: Where animations are required Widespread browser support Bad: Large file sizes compared to PNG for the same quality Often limited to 256 colors (8 bit) Now you have no excuse not to use the correct image formats . If you want to see more images or test your newfound knowledge, check out the samples page which contains a bunch more example images.
