Mocha, I appreciate it when people try to help out, but please don't give out false information. It doesn't have anything to do with it being JPG. The PNG and JPG pics on Gracey's photobucket are of the same quality, as well as the pickaxes when in full size, just see for yourself: http://s1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc456/Gracey_91/

The thing with JPG/JPEG usually causing a huge drop in image quality isn't quite true. But there might be some quality drop based on how much you compress the file size. This however varies from program to program, and in some programs is adjustable, making you able to choose how much you will compress the file size. However I believe that Paint by default doesn't do any compression of JPG images, making them as high quality as PNG. However, if you wanna be sure you have the best quality possible, and file size is no issue, using PNG is advicable. Also, JPG is not worse than GIF. GIF has a max limit of 256 colors, causing a small file size and poor quality in some cases. The small file size makes it a must to use in some cases; at least compared to JPG or PNG.
