BMP can have RLE compression, yeah ... it does cut down on filesize already, but it's nowhere as efficient as GIF or PNG  (and I don't think it works for 24bit BMP)PNG is better than GIF for nearly everything (supports 24bit, partial transparencies, no costly patent), it just needs better support from browsers (damn you Internet Explorer, support transparency will you  ) and MNG needs to spread around more ...GIF sometimes gives lower filesizes than PNG, usually with small images, but PNG is almost always better (edited by Acmlm on 03-17-04 10:46 AM) |

| JPEG: Great for photographs to be put on the Web! Don't attempt to print JPEGs. Most of them don't look good on paper. PNG: Great for everything! Photographs tend to take up huge amounts of space, so I wouldn't recommend photos as PNG. Internet Explorer's lack of support for most of its benifits is the only thing stopping this format from being on every server. MNG is an animated format based on PNG, but no browser fully supports it (Mozilla comes really close, so do some Firefox extensions). There is a joke about the real meaning of PNG: PNG's Not GIF! GIF: Almost useless in this day of age. Sometimes GIFs come out smaller than their PNG counterpart, sometimes the PNG comes out smaller. (Note that when comparing the two, make sure that the two images are indexed the same. A size comparison between a 24-bit PNG and a 8-bit GIF doesn't tell a lot) I also would recommend GIMP to everyone for saving these images (it has the best PNG compatibility!)! The GIMP is the free equivalent of Photoshop. |

I tend to use jpg and gif, I would like to use png more but the filesizes come out pretty big and IE doesn't support transperancy on it  Using BMP is a deathsin though. |

| When I design images, I use BMP ONLY if I plan to print the image. I burn a lot of CDs, and go all out with the labels. Right now I've got 50 megs of BMP sitting on the harddrive waiting for my new printer.... |
