I don't think that screenshots need a lossles compression. JPG is optimized for photograph-like images, so it works well for our screenshots. And even a few JPG artifacts wouldn't matter as people know that that's a JPG "feature" and not a FGFS fault. Also I think your screenshot file size is too large. When people have to wait too long to see an image they'll skip it and perhaps might leave the web page. This is especially sad as many people are only looking at the screenshots first and then are looking for the rest, so we'll loose these "customers" forever... :( My suggestion: do a JPG compression with roughly 80% - and hope that the full screenshot won't be much bigger than 100 KB then. If it's much bigger try a different screen resolution and/or a higher JPG compression. About the image size: people are looking at the screenshots with their web browser. So there are window borders, menus, navigation bar, etc. pp. that also have to fit on the monitor. And it's quite bad if the "customer" has to scroll to see the full beauty of our screenshots. And not every "customer" has a screen resolution of at least 1400x1050 (or even better). I'd aim for a full screen browser window on a screen with a resolution of 1280x1024 (saver: 1024x768) with a maximized browser. That leaves roughly a resolution of about 1200x800 (or 1000x600). Anyway: nice screenshots!
