Mangix Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 PNG is much better for screenshots since it does not alter colors and shapes like JPEG but it's also much bigger : my screenshot weights 1.6MB with Paint and 1.1MB when compressed with IrfanView, highest compression.there's a new format called JPEG2000 which has support for lossless compression. it also compresses files MUCH MUCH better than PNG. an average screenshot with advanced doo-hickeys is about 900KB while with PNG you get 1.5-2MB. it's kinda sad that it's not widely supported though.

Simple and 'quiet'. Aren't you using an alternate shell ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
