About jpg
Yo, thought I'd let you know that jpg does in fact decrease the quality, as it uses a decompression method that gets rid of certain data in process, thus resulting in so-called "jpg artifacts". They are not always visible to your normal eye, depending on the color and so on, but still. The png file size may be bigger but I don't think it poses any problems for the Wiki. Furthermore, I've been told by Glass to make sure that I upload the images in png format.

Thanks and sorry for bothering,

When you compare the two images they are literally the same, except the PNG is a larger filesize. I will just revert it to the PNG, since that's apparently what is wanted, but I don't really understand the reasoning.

I understand PNG is a better source for images. That is not what is going on in this particular case, however. I'll just leave editing to others and go back to lurking though, as my views apparently do not align with what is wanted. No need to disturb the waters.

Yeah, as I said, due to the nature of that particular image, the difference in the quality is not clearly visible (perhaps the person just took your image and changed it to png format? That could be another explanation for why the images look the same), though you CAN notice the jpg artifacts in the image's thumbnail.

However, I didn't mean to discourage you when it comes to editing. I just wanted to make sure that you're aware of how the staff of this wiki deals with the issue. Just because you have a different opinion doesn't mean that you're unwanted here. There will always be regulations that need to be followed though, no matter where you go, without them, the place would fall appart.

Thanks,

 * If I may butt in, its just that PNG is non lossy as oppose to JPG. Although PNG is of higher file size in some cases, this does not matter. Please don't leave the wiki as myself and everyone else here would like you to stay. If you do have any other problems with the image policy, feel free to contact myself or Jo4n.


 * Have a nice day
