jpgs and pngs

just noticed some things when i was adding a pic to my last post.

* picasa doesnt edit png’s

* png’s are treated differently compared to jpg in wordpress (you see a snapshot of the pic and then you can click it for more detail if its a png, if its a jpg, its just there in whatever size you put it on)

* pngs are large!!   in the previous pic the zoom file was 102kb in jpg format and 1331kb in png format.

——- after 20 minutes of testing ——-

* scratches head, cant seem to replicate how i did the “high contrast post”

* maybe later when i have more time and interest

picasa is now good enough to replace acdsee

see the zoom percentage?

i used to use acdsee.

when i got a pentax camera acdsee 3.2 was bundled with it.  and oh, the wonders of acdsee.  it was lightning fast, and did batch renaming, and basic stuff like red-eye removal and cropping.  nothing too fancy.

but really, its selling point was its lightning fastness and its very light footprint.

now here comes along picasa v3.  its fast, lightweight, uploads pics, and has a nifty feature where you can use your mouse wheel to increase or decrease a picture’s percentage preview.  very awesome for zooming into that little tiny detail that needed a second look around.

cheers to the google guys again!
