Title: What type of image file is best to use on CB wiki?
Post by: stahta01 on January 19, 2015, 06:47:22 pm

I am working on Directions on how to use wxWidgets 3.0.2 binary files; and want to know what type of image files are best to use on CB Wiki?

Finished first pass on doing the Wiki without using images.

Please use this thread on feedback on the directions.

Assuming it is screenshots, png is generally best.  (Of course, crop to smallest size possible without losing necessary context.  I find that scaling the final image tends to look bad, but resizing the target window before taking the screen shot (when possible) can help.)

JPEGs are smaller for the same perceptual quality (most of the times).

JPEG struggles to handle high contrast edges such as black text on white background.  It tends to produce a lot of artifacts around the boundary.
