			<content type="html"><![CDATA[That's because .jpg has a crappy quality. For a better picture quality .png is your best option, but they do tend to have a much higher file size because they use lossless compression. And i would stay clear of using JPEG with computer generated graphics.]]></content>

Woah[i]oooo![/i] I just did a comparison between .png and .jpg and the difference is over 10KB for the same picture saved differently! .png is smaller, and more efficient in maintaining quality!

The topic is officially [i]over[/i] PERIOD.

Unless someone else posts there question here. Soo...

SEMI-PERIOD.]]></content>
