If you ever wondered whether to save as GIF of JPEG

Here's a link for anyone that is confused on whether to save an image as a GIF or JPEG. I'm basically just posting it so that if someone searches the forum, they will be able to find it. Not like anyone ever does that.... Anyway.

It did leave out the topic of animation though. If you are wanting to make an animated image, you must use a GIF!

gifs, jpgs? what are those? are they like mp3s?

i like pie

*still wants an animated jpeg standard made for browsers*

Gotta use #@$! Flash for 24-bit color animation still, dern it.


*Prefers the incredible ease of use of imageready*

I prefer Jif.

Crunchy or smooth?

Crunchy, of course.

Animated JPEG can be output using QuickTimePro.

The quality is crappy, because I wanted to keep load time short, but have a look at this animation I did using SnapzPro and QuickTime pro. I made it to show a visitor to the Adobe User-to-User forum the tiling power of Terrazzo. It's about 1.5MB, and you'll need QuickTime to view it.
