Hi,

> Why wouldn't you recommend jpg for screenshots?

JPG does "lossy" image compression with an algorithm that is optimized for
pictures and photos (say: images without sharp edges and soft color
gradients).

Screenshots usually consists of big uni-color surfaces and sharp edges with
high contrast (window borders, text etc.). For such an image-profile a
lossless compression (like PNG) is better suited, with JPG you get unclear and
washed-out borders and text.
