::::::Generally, JPEG images are unfavourable because they lose image quality easily and also the PNGs generally show up in thumbnails better. I seem to recall {{u|Maverick Nate}} telling me a while back that card images should be uploaded as JPEG anyway though. A cursory glance at recent TCG sets shows that they are still being uploaded as .jpg, so maybe it would be best to contact him about that. Regardless, I dunno what the heck happened with this Wailmer card but the JPG would probably be better than the GIF in either case. | ::::::Generally, JPEG images are unfavourable because they lose image quality easily and also the PNGs generally show up in thumbnails better.

::::::As for the IC images, it turns out they've never been converted to PNGs since it wouldn't really make a difference in image quality (I guess they don't use many colours if they're sprites from the games). Since the difference in image quality is basically nil, it's not really worth the use of time and server resources to fix. I guess if they were being uploaded today, they probably would be PNG, but they're already there, so it can be ignored at this time.

:::::::JPEG is lossy while PNG is lossless. Converting from JPEG to PNG directly doesn't fix the quality issue but rather bloats file size. PNG is the easiest to work with because no compounding lossy compression with each save to edit. | |||
:::::::The direct conversion from GIF to PNG doesn't do anything as well but the compression is better if it were in PNG (after pngout or something has been applied to the PNG). If the sprites or screenshots were taken from a raw (uncompressed) source (such as bitmap), all colors would be preserved if saved in PNG and not GIF. Adamws says he's got the PNG replacements. Should someone else take care of pages protected from edits by regular users? --[[User:Wildgoosespeeder|Wildgoosespeeder]] ([[User talk:Wildgoosespeeder|talk]]) 05:24, 20 September 2016 (UTC) | |||
