SHORT DESCRIPTION

P.S. I was blown away by your recently featured 50+MB jpeg of Brooklyn. That is what I would call excellence for historical pictures! It was: a beautiful original, expertly restored, and had very high resolution and detail. :-) --JalalV (talk) 23:33, 25 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you very much. WMF software doesn't accept TIFF files, so usually I convert to .jpg at maximum file size. Some people prefer .png, but there's a debate over whether that's a good format for this type of material. Durova (talk) 00:12, 26 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I would think that if the original file is small enough that a png is less than 12MB, then isn't lossless without jpeg artifacts better? Obviously, for very large file sizes, then a large jpg would give more detail. Am I missing something? --JalalV (talk) 01:02, 26 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
