Should I use GIF or JPEG format for my ads?

Big Shoes Network - About BSN - FAQs
Well, we'll defer to your web designer and his or her expertise. If you're on your own, then we'd recommend the following: a) Use GIF format with graphics that you've created on your computer such as horizontal rules, buttons or animation. Most logos fall into this category, especially ones with flat color areas and/or vector art. b) Use JPEG format when the images are pictures or photographs. See similar questions...

Why does export_format give me a weird string, instead of just 'png' or 'gif'?

AnnoCPAN - GD::Graph::FAQ
of version 1.31, export_format in a list context returns all formats that GD can export. If you are only interested in the answer 'gif' or 'png', make sure that you call it in a scalar context. export_format = GD::Graph->export_format; $export_format = $graph->export_format; print "Export format is ", scalar $graph->export_format, "\n"; print "Export format is " . $graph->export_format .

Why don't GIF and JPEG work on Slackware Linux?

GIMP - Documentation
You need to manually get libgif and libjpeg and compile and install them on your system. They will install by default in /usr/local/lib, so once they're installed, you have to make sure that LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib or put /usr/local/lib in your ld.so configuration file. In addition, you also have to remove libgif.* and libjpeg.* from your /usr/lib directory, as these will be found first (and even if you finagle ld. See similar questions...

Can I send a JPEG or GIF file of my image?

Art Department | Frequently Asked Questions about screen pri...
Yes, although GIF and JPEG files are best suited for viewing on computer monitors. Due to compression, these image formats can occasionally lose unexpected detail or color. Small GIFs and JPEGs are an excellent way for us to preview your document quickly. If you are using a GIF or JPEG file as your finished artwork, please make sure that the image is made to the size that you want to print it and has a resolution of 300 pixels per inch or greater. See similar questions...

are all PNG files not being turned into thumbnails?

Manual:FAQ - MediaWiki
After upgrading to a more recent version of PHP, it is possible a different MimeMagic.php function is being used to detect file MIME types, particularly the built-in PHP function mime_content_type, which fails to detect PNG files. Search the web for mime_content_type png for information on fixing this bug at the PHP level, possibly by editing your magic.mime file. See similar questions...

Why do my GIF files look bad when converted to JPEG?

ThumbsPlus FAQ
The JPEG format is designed to compress real-world 24-bit color images. GIF files have already been reduced (usually by dithering) to 256-color (8-bit), so most of the original color information is lost. When they are converted to JPEG, the sharp transitions between neighboring pixels are not handled very well. The Smoothing option in the Save JPEG Options dialog box may improve the situation somewhat. ThumbsPlus quickly dithers 24-bit images for display on 8-bit displays. See similar questions...

bull; What are the differences between eps, tif, jpeg, gif, and wmf files?

ImagePlus Quality Printing, Inc. - FAQs
The best file formats for professional printing are eps and tif. They're high-quality, high-resolution and not lossy. (Lossy formats degrade and lose pixel information every time you open them. Usually it's not a noticeable thing, but over time it can be a problem. Jpegs are lossy.) Eps and tif formats can also be used with spot colors while jpeg and gif cannot. Plus, jpeg and gif were created mainly for use on the internet, so they usually emphasize size over quality. See similar questions...

back to top] 13. What types of image files does CWIS support (GIF, JPEG, etc)?

Internet Scout Project - CWIS
For image metadata fields (and the custom logo upload) the types of image files that CWIS supports is dependent on your web server environment. If you are running on a Linux server and do not have the PHP "safe_mode" option turned on, then CWIS should support GIF, JPEG, and PNG files. If you are running on a non-Linux server or a server with PHP safe_mode turned on, then which image types are supported will depend on what version of PHP you have. For versions of PHP that include release 1. See similar questions...

What's the deal with all these different graphic formats? BMP, JPEG, GIF, PNG, SVG, WMF...?

FAQ - Open Clip Art Library Wiki
These formats can be broken up into two major categories: raster, and vector. This project uses the vector format, but we will describe raster first. Popular raster formats include GIF, JPEG, PNG, and TIFF. In these formats, each pixel in the image is represented by a specific bit of data in the file. Storing each pixel of a large image creates a huge file! Many formats try to get around this by compressing the data so that each bit of data can represent several pixels. See similar questions...

For web graphics should save the files in jpg or gif format?

Photoshop Help - FAQ | PhotoshopSupport.com
A general rule of thumb is to use gifs for illustrations and images that contain large areas of flat color, and to use jpgs for photographs and images with continuous tones. The jpg format has a very good compression rate, but compression reduces the quality of the image, so experiment until you have the optimal quality/file size. See similar questions...

Can I use animated Graphic Interchange Format (GIF) files for eCopy ShareScan OP connector buttons?

Why are all of the "full-resolution" images on the Photo Gallery in JPEG format rather than GIF?

NSSDC Photo Gallery: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
The choice of JPEG format over GIF for the larger images was made for two different reasons. The first is a matter of size. In most cases, the JPEG images are smaller. In order to reduce the load on both our server machine as well as on the network and users machine, it was felt that using JPEG compression was a reasonable alternative. It preserves most of the original image, but minimizes the file sizes. The second consideration was one of color depth. See similar questions...

png files, or Portable Network Graphic files, are used for our soft edge graphics. These soft edge graphics require a special transparency technique that is best suited with this file extension.
