I feel like its lacking something for some reason... the aircraft blend into the background too much I think. Perhaps you can try brightening it a bit? Or maybe thats just the effect of losing quality on the original image.

I always thought that was one of the best formats to save in... Shows you what I know. Out of curiosity, if you want a top-quality picture, whats the best type to go with?

Extremely compressed .jpg (for sake of example)

.gif

.bmp
(http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t5/AK_Comrade/bmpex.jpg)

Unfortunately the .gif and .bmp had to be converted to .jpg to be uploaded to the internet but I used much lower compression.


.bmp is the best.

you can have hi res jpegs, just start hi res and save down. I have customers send me their print files as 300 dpi jpegs and then we'll send them to pre press as tiffs.

Remember that gif is only 256 colors.  For print media, EPS and TIFFs are pretty standard.

Print media needs many factors more detail than the average 72 dpi computer screen.

P.S. Don't use bitmaps. They are EXTREMELY large. A 1024x1024 bitmap will run exactly 1MB in size, whereas a decent-quality JPEG of the same resolution will run around 80kb or so. Maybe less, maybe more.

So, 1024kb vs 80kb.... BIG difference, not only in download time, but also in display time.

Only the lowest-quality JPEGs will bleed out like the example above. Also, even the BEST quality GIF will suck for screenshots because they are 256-colors max. That's 8-bit, folks.

Just stick with the JPEG. Set the quality to 4 in photoshop, or maybe 40% if it gives you a slider. Once you've saved the file, preview it in a web browser. If you don't see any bleeding instantly visible, go with it. You see some "color-bleed" then up the quality 1 number in photoshop, or 10% on a slider scale (depending on your software) and try again.

I dk, i think if the 109 would rudder left hard, and roll left that spit would fly right past w/o a solution.
