Might I remind the Moderators that when I ask nicely for the previous poll to be closed, 115% of the time I will actually mean it? Also, dudes, I'm seriously going to run out of ideas for these polls soon, so I ask you to sit down for half a minute, maybe look around the room, and send me your ideas. That would be fully sick, yeah.

"Which filetype do you prefer to use the most?"
... Is that meant to say "Prefer to use", or "Use the most"?
.PNG in any case.

I usually use .PNG when putting something on the interwebs, but if I'm just sending it to a friend I'll use JPEG for the small file size.

All my pics are PNG, unless they're too big to upload on image shack. Then I convert 'em to JPEG. Occasionally I'll use program specific. Depends on what I'm working on. In any case, I voted PNG.
And Split, didn't you mean April 2nd? :P

Haha, good catch Mr. T.
PNG for me. Although they take up quite a bit of space, I do frequent back-up's onto CD's to clear off my hard drive for more artwork. Speaking of which...my goatdarned tablet ain't workin right!! >.> Every time I use it it's something else! *keels tablet*

I honestly thought JPEG would come through as the most popular, but it seems everyone agrees with me. That is, on PNG being the greatest image format ever. Now if only it was more compressed...

I have an idea for a super compression format that won't throw out any information, except it's not really a format. You save your picture/word document/whatever as the best quality format there is for that type of file, and then you run it through a program that uses equations to compress it, instead of looking for repeated strings of code. It's still in the early stages of development. :P

Why don't they just create a program which stores every single possible pixel combination in a 1024x720 resolution, then simply refers to the appropriate combination when the computer attempts to load an image?
They'd have to keep them on a supercomputer though, you'd probably need a good couple of zetabytes to store them all. :P

That''s exactly why your idea wouldn't work. It takes up more space, not less. That, and not every picture is going to be 1024X720. As for the idea I had, I did a little math when I origionally thought it up, and the compression range is anything from none at all, to shrinking the file down to one byte. It really doesn't matter how big or small the file is, but rather on what the sequence of 1's and 0's is.

No, it would include all images (1-1024)x(1-720). And besides, who cares about how much space it takes up if that space is outside your computer, and the result is a much faster loading speed?

When I make images, I pretty much always save it as a PNG.
Unless it's animated, then it is, of course, a GIF.

Split, they would still have to be to scale of 1024X720, and since a lot of images wouldn't be to scale, it wouldn't work. You can't have everything saved in a 1024X720 resolution if it isn't at least to scale.

Final Results:
What image filetype do you prefer to use most?
BMP (basic filetype, with large filesizes) - 6.25%
GIF (most suitable for simple images and solid colours) - 6.25%
JPEG (comparitively low quality, but brilliant compression) - 18.75%
PNG (great quality images, with about a tenth the compression of a JPEG) - 68.75%
TIFF (well-suited for photographs or scanned images) - 0.00%
Program Specific (contains additional information such as layers, image history, etc) - 0.00%
Other - 0.00%
