That should be qualified - *some* graphics are better done in png than jpg.

Photos should be jpg. Line drawings, pictures of text, most clip-art and
other images with a limited number of colors should usually be png, as
well as images that use transparency. Note, however, that a 32-bit png
can be a pretty hefty file size. Use an indexed color palette (8-bit)
for a more light-weight png.

And please don't top-post.
