PEG is superior in rendering color and detail found in photographs or graphics using blends, gradients, and other tonal variations. JPEG is short for Joint Photographers Experts Group. It provides for greater compression options (Low, Medium, High, and Maximum) allowing the the artist the perfect balance between quality and file size.The disadvantages of JPEG files are that they cannot be saved in index-color mode, meaning that many people who view the images with 8-color monitors may experience unusual dithering patterns. JPEG files also do not allow for transparent backgrounds, so you are stuck with either leaving the background of the image the same color as the background of your page, or having to settle for a border around your image. JPEG is much better at displaying a wide range of tones, which is what a gradient is. For example, the two graphic images below are steel and copper buttons saved as JPEGs. JPEG-converted graphics are best for photographs or images with fine tonal variations in colors, such as images with gradients or metallic images. Choosing the right file format is not only important for the quality, but for keeping your image’s file size to a minimum. Whatever your or your client chooses to work with, try to avoid making your revisions on a GIF or JPEG file that has already been sized down and converted to the web; use the original files (or photographs) they were made from, if available. GIFs are generally safer for recompressing, since they utilize ’lossless’ compression — meaning that when the image is compressed, no information is lost from its contents. JPEGs, however, utilize ’lossy’ compression (meaning that information is lost from its contents) so, the image will look worse if it is retouched and saved as a JPEG again.
