"JPEG might not be the best if you need 24-bit true color accuracy because of it's degrading of the image depending on compression, but for most purposes, it does a good job." Actually, it does a good job for virtually all purposes, _including_ loss-less compression. Lest we forget, JPEG has a loss-less compression mode that behaves like a 24-bit GIF format (very good compression, but no image compromise). Just set your comp. ratio to 100% when saving 24-bit images. -Chris
