Homebrew PCBs

JPG is quite poor at rendering images with sharp edges, so I would stick with 
GIF or PNG.  The JPG compression algorithm leaves what I think of as "visual 
echoes" or ripples in the image.  These are invisible in photographs, but stand 
out with a vengeance in high contrast images with sharp edges.

Please note that I am very colour blind and see things differently.  I have many 
times experienced poor monitor quality (where I see obvious image artifacts) 
that others don't have any problem with.

BMP is a an uncompressed format (i.e. bloated) and proprietary to M$, though 
many programs can display such images.
