As a general rule of thumb, .jpg for photos, .png for computer-generated graphics/images. As somebody else pointed out, .pngs are superior to .jpgs for screenshots. And use .pngs to replace .gifs, typically for web graphics (buttons, banners etc.). Regarding your query, lossless means bigger files. Todd
