For screen captures, using PNG is the best way to go, IMHO. In our modern web/storage era, the size of HTML files should not be a constraint here.
JPG is for pictures (can create pixel artifacts with images like screen captures - random dots with colors not from the original, etc.). GIF (at least the earlier formats) is too restrictive in the number of possible colors - this may not be an issue with your images, but why bother worrying about it.

Hi I create PDF files, which are generally viewed on screen, and possibly printed by end-users from time to time, and responsive HTML help files. The user guides contain screen captures in .png format. Keeping the size of the HTML files down in important. Is there are better option than png? thanks -- Caroline Tabach Technical/Marcom Writer e-mail: [email protected] _______________________________________________ This message is from the Framers mailing list Send messages to [email protected] Visit the list's homepage at http://www.frameusers.com Archives located at http://www.mail-archive.com/framers%40lists.frameusers.com/ Subscribe and unsubscribe at http://lists.frameusers.com/listinfo.cgi/framers-frameusers.com Send administrative questions to [email protected] _______________________________________________ This message is from the Framers mailing list Send messages to [email protected] Visit the list's homepage at http://www.frameusers.com Archives located at http://www.mail-archive.com/framers%40lists.frameusers.com/ Subscribe and unsubscribe at http://lists.frameusers.com/listinfo.cgi/framers-frameusers.com Send administrative questions to [email protected]
