Russlk said:use GIF - this gives 100% quality and far smaller file sizes than JPG.
I did not know that, Nigel, and I still don't. I have noticed that when I load a picture from my camera into MGI Photosuite II and save it, it is much smaller than before even tho it is JPG in both cases. I tried loading a schematic into MGI Photosuite and saving it as .GIF and find that it is larger than JPG. So, I think it has more to do with the program than the format.
Russ, I don't know how you capture your schematics, but I was looking at NONLINEAR AMP.jpg, and it appears you are doing a screen capture. Do you know that in SWCAD, you can click on Tools/Copy Bitmap to Clipboard, or just hit ctrl-c, and then paste into Paint and save as whatever format you want? (I'm having deja vu here.) I just tried it on a test schematic - see below.Russlk said:use GIF - this gives 100% quality and far smaller file sizes than JPG.

As I said above, other people will have other suggestions :lol:
PNG is fine, but support is still fairly poor, as long as you use modern browsers no problem, but GIF has much greater support (simply because it's been about for a much greater time).

GIF is a propietory format. PNG is th eopen-source equiv.

On the practical side, I've never had trouble creating or opening a GIF. So, how does this matter? Can Linux not open GIFs or what?
