Photographs:
When saving photos, the JPG (also JPEG) file format is the best choice. JPG files are
relatively small and the photo quality is very good. The down side: Transparency is not an
option with the JPG format.
Graphics:
Text logos and line art, are examples of graphics that look great when saved in the GIF
file format. GIF files yield great lines and sharp edges, while still keeping file size
down. The added advantage of GIF files is that images can be saved with a "reduced
color palette" (fewer colors), thus further reducing file size--very important when
saving your creations for publishing on the Web. The down side: GIF files are limited to
256 solid colors.
