This would all depend on what type of image you are referencing too. If
you save a photograph or many colored images in .gif format, it will
have "good image quality", along w/  "the largest file size".

If you save line-art or 2-3 color images in .jpg format, it will not
have "good image quality".

So, as you can see, the 2 answers above are not totally true. Just
didn't want others, that don't know, to use the above as a guideline in
saving their images.

The above are just a couple of the "number of things".
