1: BMP
2: GIF
3: JPG |
OK, I wanted to re-visit this issue again and I see what you are saying Win, and I believe we are both correct if that is possible because it would all depend on how you saved the pic and what elements you used when you set up the save, such as DITHERING...However, if you take a closer look at my two screen shots above you can see the GIF image has been forced to employ DITHERING because it didn't have enough colors nor did it have the correct colors available in the GIF 256 color palette....
Notice the fly on the left is GIF at 32 colors and 2.69kb and the fly on the right is 17 million colors JPG 6.64kb
