I realize that, but what's wrong with having options? besides the current lack of browser support (soon to be rectified), and no current code for PDN, what?

Don't bother with samples, compress your own using JNG at 90% and see what comes out. the point of JNG is to have a file with alpha transparency and some compression, so comparing it with JPEG isn't quite appropriate.

Sorry, probably a good idea to post info links JNG Wiki JNG Specs libMNG Homepage

it's the exact same compression, so depending on what compression ratio, yes, but you also get an alpha channel to use, so we're talking about a file as small as a JPEG with all the benefits of a PNG

I's like to see support for JNG (JPEG Network Graphics, basically PNG with JPEG compression, or JPEG with alpha-channels).It doesn't necessarily need to be soon, but I'd like to see it. My reasoning is because I've been keeping up with Mozilla foundation's Bugzilla about re-adding MNG support to Firefox, and at the moment it looks like it may happen via plugin soon, and as JNG is part of the MNG format, it'll be there too, which would be very nice filesize-wise, having an 88.5KB file to download on a page over the 628.7KB equivalent PNG (Example here)

Sorry, I'm probably being dense (or it's just not working in Vista?), but where? edit: nevermind, I am being dense, I didn't realize you had to hit save before it would pop up, I was looking for a "Settings" button, I'm still used to PSP

I'd say as much as possible, minus the color depths PDN doesn't support, for now at least. for one, I'd certainly like to be able to have my alpha channeled PNGs replaced with smaller files once the browser support is in place (other than IE7) I know this wouldn't work at all for color depth load warnings, but would it be feasible, until 3.1, to use an effect plugin to set the save options?

I don't know how popular or feasible it would be, but I just read about MS's new HD Photo format, and I was wondering if it were possible for someone to make a PDN plugin? so far I can't seem to find any programs or PS plugins which support it (except the beta one by MS which doesn't work in PSP), and however Vista's Windows Photo Gallery is supposed to export files, I can't figure out, and I'd like to see for myself if it's worth anything.
