I think PNG was the best choice for EVE screenshots. It has compression and is lossless which is important for GUI parts of screenshots. Can we have an option to use PNG just like BMP and JPEG formats, please?

Even my older PC (2200+ MHz, 512MB, etc) and even doesn't have any problems with the compression during eve runtime. (not even in a 300+ ships POS fight)
So there is really no reason to abandon PNG screenshots.
JPGs are unpractical as sharp lines (overview, target clamps, etc) etc are blurred. And BMP is ridiculously big in size. As in former times, we'll see hundreds of screenshots being hosted as BMPs. Even with X*1000kbps, this is quite annoying.
At least make PNG an option again.
Providing options wouldn't be a bad thing anyway, you know, devs. Its near to no coding effort and makes everyone happy without any disadvantages.
(Like options for disabling those pesky clouds in missions or completey swtich off models for big fights. But i know... i'm naive.)

PNG is the best option for screenshots imo, JPG is pretty useless and BMP is way too big.

PNG was the best choice for eve imo. JPG has to low of quality, except when writing bug reports. And BMP is way to big, you would have to convert it ( BMPs are like 2 - 4 MB in size ).

They could at least have chosen a smaller level of jpg compression. The screenshots looks like it's set to 2/10 or something... ---------------------------------------- A Guide to Scan Probing in Revelations |

i agree, you can set to 'save screenies in high quality' but that makes BMP and is lolastic big. PNG for high quality would be best choice, and for low quality let ppl choose the jpeg compression.

Your post has no value. Please mister troll go away.
PNG is working, I never heard about bugs in it. Even if DirectX is bugged there are plenty of libraries implementing encoding PNG.

Like whining about screenie formats is useful? use FRAPS if it bothers you that much. ---------------------------- Buying Sabres. EVEmail or convo me in game! |
