Poser - OFFICIAL F.A.Q (Last Updated: 2025 Feb 02 2:22 am)
Byte Sez: I thought tifs mapped smoother and better than jpgs... That what I read on another thread anyways... There is some distortion with JPEGs but not much. The advantage to using JPEG is obvious--shorter download time and smaller files. The advantage of not using JPEG (now that Poser supports GIF files) is that a texture that only requires 8-bit or 4-bit color actually uses less Poser memory than the same texture in JPEG format. The trade-off of using JPEGs is hard-drive space vs. program memory for textures that require 8-bit color or less.
Oooo ok!!! Thanks for that bit of info Freakachu... I understood jpgs being smaller but did not know they used more memory... I think that's good to know for a lot of people.. I have plenty of memory but fast approaching a full Harddrive... I have 192 MB of memory and a 19.2 GB Harddrive.. My husband said I'd never fill a 19.2 GB HD up.. I told him to watch me.... =) ~Cindy
