Do PNG Portraits work better than JPGs?
I made a few portraits for my friends and I've started using jpg format for the smaller size.
I have a question though. Do PNGs look better? Does it even matter when the program gets a hold of the file?

Thanks for the reply. I'm cool on the technical specs of the graphics types. What I'm curious about is if people see the difference in game.
Guess I'll go back to png out of principle.J.R.R. Tolkien wrote, "I wish life was not so short. Languages take such a time, and so do all the things one wants to know about."

I'd say it depends on the size of file. The portraits, tokens and icons are small files. These are probably best in PNG. Maps can get very big in PNG format. I've started using JPG in the Maps & Images folder for FGII.
Using Ultimate license - that means anyone can play.

I personally use JPG for images, maps and portraits and PNG for tokens.
I could use PNG for portraits but as they don't require transparency and don't get scaled that significantly I prefer the smaller file size that JPG offers.FG Project Development
