Yeah, I use Photoshop to save/resize my images but I only tend to use .png if there is transparency in the image. I wasn't on about the file format itself when I said they take long to load, more the fact that .png tends to give huge filesizes, ~1.6Mb for your images whereas I keep mine at around 300kb (better compression as gboyers said), and I can't see any difference in quality. I've never been any good at spotting quality differences in images but I know that .png is supposed to give the best quality. Anyway, most people have good internet these days so bigger filesizes shouldn't be a problem and as I said, it was just a thought.

:Those are good points - and mobile users probably care the most about image size. But bear in mind 99% of people who view the image will only ever see the thumbnail, which will be a very small size even if the original uploaded image is a 10mb giant super-hi-res PNG. It's nice to have the hi-res high-quality versions for those people who want to click on it to see more detail.  [[User:Gboyers|gboyers]] <sup>[[User_talk:Gboyers|talk]]</sup> 01:44, 4 February 2012 (UTC)
