Actually, don't do this. ships.bm2 must be bitmap for the skin, 39pr1 needs menutext.bm2 to be a bitmap too. However, entering a fullscreen game with 39pr1 just gives me a blank screen. It's too much effort for me to find out which images cause this, so I'm sticking with bitmap for now. |

JPG is worse quality, it doesn't store pixels like PNG _________________ This help is informational only. No representation is made or warranty given as to its content. User assumes all risk of use. Cyan~Fire assumes no responsibility for any loss or delay resulting from such use.

Ehm, that is a bit rougly said
JPGs compression techniques can beat any lossless compression in many particular images - you can play with compression/quality ratio, so you don't step behind visually noticeable artefacts.
Please review the page suggested by Mine GO BOOM, showing examples of situations great for JPGs or PNGs.
Image format examples
An experienced artist automatically use the most proper format, this page is a good start for not so experienced though. |
