PNG is my preferred format :)

I like PNG ok, but some photo editors will not work with it.

JPG stinks. PNG is better.

I wouldn't say it stinks. PNG is arguably better, but if you have a JPG in sufficient quality, it can be indistiguishable to PNG to most people.

Let's say you take Webshots & they extract a photo to Wallpaper.BMP (10 MB).

You open it with Windows paint & click Save As\JPG & it reduces it to 500 KB.

Looking at the pics side by side, you can't see any difference. Which would you rather store?

A 10 MB, or a 500 KB file? At 10 MB each, my over 21,000 Wallpapers would be 210,000 MB (210 GB) compared to 10,500 MB (10.5 GB) stored as JPG.

While I have a 1,000 GB external drive (1 TB), I kinda don't want to use 210 GB just for pictures if I can get (almost) the same quality stored in just 10.5 GB.

This is just an example here, but I do have over 21,000 wallpapers...

I think you mean 1,000GB ;) 1,000,000GB is a petabyte

'Sides, PNG is only marginally larger, and way smaller than JPEG

You are right, Winapp! Thanks for catching my err.

I edited it to correct it after I re-read it. Thanks!

Yes, I meant 1,000 GB (1TB).

How nice, Winapp!

I don't know if this is acceptable, but I have over 21,000 wallpapers.

Mostly 1600X1200, but some 1920X1200 etc...

How does a guy with hundreds of tabs open in his browser ever manage to see his wallpapers :)

Easy! Right-click + T to open in a new tab. Then, CTRL + S to save, then CTRL + W to close that tab.

After downloading, I delete the old ones that are ugly, etc. I only keep the best.

I think middle clicking is faster for sending links to a new tab :)

Those huge rockets have massive amounts of fuel to push them past the gravitational pull though! :o

It's not like they're new or anything, but I think we only use them when we really feel we need to.

over 21,000 Wallpapers

Not being rude or anything, but just in case ... we don't need to see them. I believe you!

:lol:

Super Fast, I now have 2 screen savers, the default and the other one. Your post has inspired me to branch out. :D

Erasing old posts.

Why?

I needed room to upload a few screenies for new posts. So I had to delete a few older posts because my upload limit was reached.

So, I deleted a few to make room for the new. :P

don't have to delete the posts, you can delete the attachment in your profile
