what's a good format for digital paintings/shaded drawings?
Timestamp:
any artists out there that know a good format like png or jpg to export/save as when you're painting/coloring/shading something digitally? i'm still sort of confused but i believe i'm told that jpg is for the painting if that's correct.
Flamecannon:
I've been told that if you want to print out something you've made you'd want to have it as a jpg instead of png but I'm not quite sure why myself.

i don't really print nor even have a printer at all so that's a minus
Flamecannon:
Well the reason I'm thinking is because jpg, albeit compressed compared to png, is supposedly much better at handling a lot of colors whilst pngs are good at keeping image sharpness. I apologize that I'm not too keen on this in particular, I'm really just giving it a guess.

before i was told what is/what isn't i thought jpg only made the handling at colors worse than png. although i do like a little image sharpness but here i'll try a little shading test
