Best quality and lowest file size don't mix...lol

Another variable is how you expect to use it...PNG is good quality/ relatively small but most IE browsers don't read it (yet)..so I wouldn't use it on a web page... tiff files are huge (good for print)..which leave GIF for web, for now.

I am actually using it for my web site (under construction) dont know when itl be done yet, but i needed the title clickable to send it to the home page and i could only get it write with the lines but it would leave incorrect shading so i chose to feather it and its working now im using GIFs

It's true. PNG will give you great quality but it will also balloon your images by 4-10X. JPEG is the overall best file for the web, but you need to be careful when saving it multiple times as artifacting may result. If you want to read more on the subject, please visit my website at:
