Do not mix up plain compression and lossy compression. JPEG is lossy and can lead to artifacts. GIF and PNG aren't (although GIF, being restricted to 256 unique colors, can suffer from dithering). I otherwise fully agree with the vector graphic suggestion. _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
