Hi :) From experiences with my company's website i would say convert the image from jpg to png asap while you have it as good as it will ever get. For the website i then try to clean the image up a bit if possible (given time limitations & likely size of useful final image). After that any cropping or re-sizing causes less damage to the image.
Most cameras default to jpegs which are generally pretty good nowadays, it's only when you start messign with the image that problems creep in so doing a conversion to a better format seems sensible early on in the process. Jpg is a horrible format but previously cameras used to use even worse quirky formats that were difficult to convert into anything useful. They used to also allow slightly more knowledgeable people to switch to bitmaps were much better but back then it meant a camera conly hold about 4 images or something stupid. Just because a lot of people use a particular thing does not mean that it is the best thing to use. Generally i would rather ask experts that work with a variety of similar things a lot and ask them which they prefer and why. Often the answers are that 1 thin is better for some stuff while another is better for other circumstances. Take Windows for example. A LOT of people use Windows so does that mean that Windows is the best? Imo that would raise the question "best at what?". Certainly it is not the best server OS! I would argue that on most criteria that makes Windows the "best" DamnVulnerableLinux would be better. I don't know how to reply to the list properly. I tried the instructions as best i could and experimented but this is the only way that seems to work. I hit "reply" and then copy&paste into the subject line. Someone magically and kindly sorts it for m from there. If there is someway of getting this stupid yahoo thing to give a better result then please let me know.
