color should be saved in gif format. The image on the right was saved as a jpg

.gif format |

| Continuous tone images like photographs that contain many
different colored pixels should be saved as jpg for best quality. Saving in gif
format can leave a noticeable dot pattern when the image is reduced to 256
colors. |
