FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions

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.

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.

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...

E16) Can a virus "hide" in a GIF or JPEG file?

Virus-L FAQ 2.00
GIF and JPEG (.JPG) files contain compressed graphical information.

What is the difference between .gif and .jpeg?

Inventive-Design
GIF is short for Graphics Interchange Format. GIF's advantages is that it is supported by practically all web browsers, can include transparent backgrounds, supports interlacing (providing a low-resolution preview of the graphic to the viewer while it downloads), and can be used as an image map (allowing the viewer to click on the graphic as they would a regular link to another site.) GIF's disadvantages are that it can only support 8-bit color (or a palette no greater than 256 colors). See similar questions...

Should I choose gif or jpeg, and what quality?

Photoshop and Web Design FAQ
Gifs are usually only best for images where there are large flat areas of a single colour, such as a diagram. Gifs can have transparent areas in them, and can be animated, which a jpeg can't. Gifs are also limited to 256 colours. Jpegs are preferrable to gifs for almost any image that isn't a diagram. Jpegs compress the data very well, meaning that your picture files will be smaller. This compression creates inaccuracies though, but these inaccuracies are not usually noticeable. See similar questions...
