Comment What are the merits for using the PNG with transparent background rather than the JPG? Colin°^Talk 22:35, 19 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Just nominated this one because it's the one used in articles. Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:05, 19 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I think the JPEG version should be used as the PNG thumbnailer uses a less sophisticated algorithm that generates a blurrier result. Papa Lima Whiskey 2 (talk) 12:11, 20 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree that it looks "terrible".
The PNG looks terrible anyway. So where's the win? You can make a JPEG that has the correct background colour if you want to. Papa Lima Whiskey 2 (talk) 13:37, 20 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The PNG looks poor if dropped on a darker background, because the game has only been crudely cut out rather than blended to transparent -- you get a white halo. This could be fixed by someone with good photoshop skills. It is good enough for the purpose on WP, though a PNG is bigger to download than a JPG. I see that PNG-transparent images have been created for many of the game articles. We haven't done this for any of the other many featured pictures set on a white background, many of which appear in info boxes. I don't think the way the image interacts with this month's colour scheme on the vector skin or some info box template should be our concern. I wouldn't want to encourage photographs as PNGs just because it blends nicely with a light grey info box. Colin°^Talk 14:03, 20 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Jpg back in the article... I'm edit warring myself. Crisco 1492 (talk) 14:19, 20 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Support JPG. My preference would be for the object to be clearly on a surface rather than floating in whitespace. But it illustrates the product nicely. Colin°^Talk 09:02, 21 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Support per Fir0002. No reason not to feature. Clegs (talk) 11:16, 26 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
