So...

[Deviance]

Only used a jpg because it was just a quick put together.

Do I get a cookie?

No, because you used JPEGs.

Use Jpegs when you something to be transferred quickly.

Ah, okay. It's understandable, then. Here's your cookie:

I only know what my dad says about tiff, and all he knows is that it uses "lossless compression" or something.

[Modus Ponens]

I think that BMP is to graphics as WAV is to audio—it's the standard uncompressed lossless "one-to-one" format, where each element is simply stored as-is. As such, you can easily see that the storage size of a 24-bit 640 x 480 pixel bitmap file is easily calculable, as it is 24 bits times 640 times 480, which equals 7,372,800 bits, or 900 KB (plus a few bytes extra for a header and whatever). Any BMP image of those dimensions and that color depth will be the same size, no matter what, as opposed to JPGs whose size for a given compression rate depends on the complexity of the image, or PNGs or GIFs whose size depends on the number of colors present, etc.

As far as I know, you're almost always going to be better off with a PNG, because you can make it so that it's always the same quality as the source bitmap, but potentially smaller in size.

I always use GIFs. I don't know why, I just do.

lol colour loss. You should get in the habit of using PNG.

So I got a username change.

Russ was taken, and I would never have thought of this one if MD hadn't called my Russell.

Edit: It appears MD is now Shazza Dani. I guess I'll call her SD now.

[The_Amaster]

Man, that's gonna take some getting used to...

[Russ]

I'm already used to it.

Then again, it's a routine process on Pure ZC, so I sort of get something like it at least once a month.
