Heya, everyone!!! This is just intended as a FUN experiment, so please no flames (though I'd love to hear your results)

I recently got into a discussion with a friend about lossy versus lossless image compression and the end result, was, well - a six pack of Guiness' was at stake so things got pretty serious.

Since I'm a big fan of the scientific method, I decided to put together a little test - basically it presents 10 pairs of images. 10 PNGs and 10 JPEGs - and lets you see how well you can tell them apart. I've found that the experiment is quite enlightening. :)

the test is on:
