Forum:Wikis with jpg only image files my images look cloudy

Special:Contact I write tech manuals on my company's wiki site. The site requires uploaded images to be on a jpg file.

I capture the image in MS Office using the Paint accessory and convert in to a JPG file. But it looses resolution. Is my observation correct, do images loose clarity when I save it as a JPG file. Any suggestions-including a different image capture tool?


 * Generally, images do lose clarity if you make changes to it as a JPG file. It's better to save it to PNG, which doesn't lose quality. You can save to PNG when using MS Paint. If you have a newer version of Windows i.e. Vista you can use the Screen Clipping tool as well. Wjxhuang,  the 888th Avatar  {Talk} 01:29, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
