Ooh, Alpha channel. Forgot of that. That is a nice one. Love me some alpha channel.
So, what would you say is best? If someone wanted to save an image, which format would you recommend? I usually go with PNG. JPG if I want bad quality on purpose (drag quality slider to minimum for extra compression)
PNG gets you the best compatibility and features, at the expense of file size. But I probably wouldn't use it for uploading photographs to the web of course.
