jpeg output
« on: 2014 January 23 12:45:59 »
Simple question, When outputting a final image from PI in JPEG format, there's several warnings that the image could be degraded. Is there a better way to output a final image for website use? thanks....Chris

all this warning means is that jpeg is a lossy compression algorithm. it's meant to warn you that if you think you are saving your image in a lossless, pure format... you're not.

jpeg is fine for the web. i guess one could also use png nowadays.
