JPEG image format and the new callout capabilites in LPub (plus PLI background color non-white which I just fixed) are incompatible with JPEG because when you pack images together that are rendered with the same background color, not all the (...)

Recalling a bit of history... .PNG was to be the .GIF replacement (due too all the legal stuff around .gif) which is mostly for palletized graphics, in which case PNG is great. The PNG features that are beyond the .gif features do make a very handy (...) (22 years ago, 21-Apr-03, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.inst)

(...) If PNG is lossless that's fine but I'd prefer that BMP be continued to be supported as one can then convert it in a post process step to whatever one desires. I tend not to like to use JPG for discrete tone images like instructions, it's much (...) (22 years ago, 22-Apr-03, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.inst)

BMPs are not compressed on disk - which is why they are huge to begin with, and compress to very very small. (...) (22 years ago, 28-Apr-03, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.inst)

I've decided to keep the original two formats and add a third. Processing of the new layout layer of LPub must be done in either bitmap or PNG, because composite images made of JPEGs end up having the barground color change all over the place. I can (...)
