> It's better to work on the files in PSD or some other lossless format then save them as jpegs for posting, sending, etc.
I have to say PSD is my favourate format, as you can keep the origional untouched and have all your changes in layers. Only downside is the size of the file it produces, one project I have just finished working on is 103Mb.

256950 2004-08-05 15:30:00 Strange you should say that,out or sheer boredom i took the locked symbol this forum uses,blew it up to the maximum size allowed by photoshop(30000x30000????),applied a filter and then tried to save it.

Halfway through the save process it informed me that my comp lacked resources and it abondend the task,.....I have to admit it wasn't worth the wait.

256951 2004-08-05 19:55:00 Hi Rob99

I am not trying to have a argument for the sake of only having a argument, and I am not a expert in picture formats, in fact you might know more than me on the picture topic

The only reason and this is my last posting on this topic why I suggested PNG is because it is the 3rd most common picture format on internet so all the internet browser will be able to open it,
You could e-mail me (and everyone else) a PSD format picture but I don't have photoshop, my internet browsers will not open it, nor will outlook express open it, I am not sure if gimp 1.x version will display it correct. and this was my main point were the question was using a picture format that would be acceptable to everyone.


Maybe someone could do a FAQ on picture formats unless it is already done.

256952 2004-08-05 22:30:00 Ernie the original poster uses Photshop, PSD is native to Photoshop, therefore it makes sense for him, while working on images in Photoshop, to Save AS .psd. Once the editing is complete he can save it as .jpeg, .png, .gif .pcx or any number of other formats. For photographs I would use .jpeg for maps, drawings, etc, .png is probably your best bet for icons, etc, .gif.

256953 2004-08-05 22:45:00 Here (sal.neoburn.net) is my big PSD file, the reasion it is so big is the resoultion 508pixles/inch (I stuffed up when first creating it I entered 200 in the resoultion but that was pixles/cm).
There is nothing wrong with png file's either, I just say that "I perfer PSD" when working on an image as I use photoshop, then if I want to distribute the image I compress and convert it as nessary.

256954 2004-08-07 09:21:00 Very sorry for the revisit/posting to the thread

My web site is "gif" free and has a link from "burn all gif" web site.

take the picture at
www.oh-bugger.net.nz only 41 K in file size, I just did a search on my computer and found the JPG equivenlent is also 41 K in file size (I must delete them off the computer), as I say (or should of said) with straight lines in JPG you get "ghosting"

256955 2004-08-07 09:58:00 I was interested in Steve L question but no one seems to have answered the question he asked and gone off on a tangent about other formats lpaint (5949)
