Unfortunately, GIF only uses 256 colors in any given image (selected from a
larger palette though). So, _not_ what I would use for high-quality
photographs, but it _could_ be used for screen captures as long as there aren't
too many colors in that screen.
I have tested JPEG output for screen

Hi,
itl offers some FrameScript scripts in the Extended Pack of
their i-frame collection. One script creates a variable report:

itl also offers these scripts as indivdual scripts.

TIF = JPG = not for screen captures period
GIF OK but limited to 256 colors
PNG is the way to go.

GIF is great for screen shots that don't include gradients or photos.
These days I use PNG but with PhotoShop at the highest quality setting
I do not see artifacts in images saved as JPEG. Some other tools don't
do as good a job.
