106534 2002-12-16 08:19:00 go here (www.faqs.org) for an indepth faq on JPEG. And here (wombat.doc.ic.ac.uk) for Bitmap and i have no idea of wot a "pxc" is and go here (www.w3.org) for PNG and i also have no idea wot TGA is.

cheers,

106537 2002-12-16 08:25:00 thanks to Andy's site i see that TGA stands for TGA - Truevision File Format :D but if this is so, then where does the G in TGA come from? vk_dre (195)
106538 2002-12-16 09:35:00 I had a quick look in Google. TGA represents TARGA - True Vision Files.

Cheers :)
