They're actually getting some push-back from that. The .tga format is lossless. JPEGs are smaller because they are compressed, but in that compression, you lose picture quality. There is a request going in for it to be an option to save as a .jpg.

I hope so, I like the .tga format, as you and I said, there is no loss in quality do too compression.

Whoops sorry I was considering most screenshots would go to galleries, fansites, wikies or modsites, so I was thinking JPG was just what you needed. I do not think I ever used a screenshot without having to convert it to JPG (or sometimes PNG for avatars for instance). I only use IrfanView for that particular task. Then if you need extra quality to illustrate something, I would imagine you will use an external soft anyway just like for taking movies out of WoW.

Sorry again for the offense

PS: I haven't tested it but if Blizz use any modern JPEG algo without too much compression the result should still be decent enough for most usage, even with moderate zooming. No?

[Seerah]

You weren't causing offense, Kaomie. For a lot of people, having it save as a jpeg is more convenient for them. That's why having the option to save them as either .tga or .jpg would be good.

[Dreadlorde]

saving a screenshot as a jpeg is better than a gif at least, with jpeg it only get's a little blurry, gif looks like someone poured water on a water-colour painting.

soz ppl but i new to computers and i wondered what is the difference bettween the different formats

[Dreadlorde]

.tga has no compression, so the resolutons doesn't go down, jpeg has compression makeing the resolution go down, becoming slightly fuzzy.

That's not true. Compression does not decrease resolution. With jpeg compression, you simply lose some detail depending on the quality setting you choose when saving the image. The resolution of the image will remain exactly the same.

Oh, I was wrong then.

Were's you green text?

[Mazzlefizz]

I use green text to highlight answers in the MazzleUI forum to make things easier to find. This thread is not in that forum, and there's no point to use it here.

[Dreadlorde]

That makes sense.

how do you change the fonts on the main screens? Doy uo put a font folder in C:\program files\world of warcraft ? Do you have to name the fonts something special?

[robthedude]

ClearFont2 there should be a readme in the folder that tells you how

[Xanithon]

Names for the fonts are: ARIALN, MORPHEUS, skurri and something that I can't remember...

[Seerah]

They're listed in the CF2 readme.
