What is the difference? This is what I did:

1. Create an image in Photoshop
2. Save it as a .psd
3. Save it as a .jpg
4. Save it as a .gif
5. Compared the jpg vs gif (quality)
6. [ Quality turned out to be the exact same ] Then I compared the size. The gif was 4.68 kB and the jpg was 30+.

Explain this to me dawgs.

Well, actually, on the .gif the quality is A LITTLE crappier.

.gif is only good for animations, or letters/words.

.jpg is definitally the way to go if you want to save a high quality image.

Move both of them to a low quality (like from 5 - 7) and compare them... the .jpg will probably be much better.

Yeah, but I think they've found a way to make it look good as well.

.bmp is PERFECT ^^

gif only supports 256 colors, you can choose which ones but still only 256
