probably because i'm doing this for no reason and i don't think i'm making a point out of this either way i still need to find out which is better though
foulprairiedog:
holy hell do not save as jpeg if you want to print
the stuffty jpeg artifacts will show up in the printed product and your image will end up looking deepfried. use PNG.

jpeg is for photos, not digital art. if you have nice crispy digital art it will be loving breaded by jpeg. Don't Do It. Don't use jpeg for digital art. or printing digital art. only for photos
if you really save your digital art as a jpeg then i guess it's for cases where you don't really give a stuff about the image quality?
EcstaticEggplant:
jpeg is good for web images as its low file size, but if file size isn't really a problem and you want to keep quality then go for png.

I apologize that I'm not too keen on this in particular, I'm really just giving it a guess.

jpeg is better at handling more colors while still remaining smaller in filesize. as for color reproduction png is superior
