Hi,

I’ve got simple yet tricky in my opinion question here:  
when I design anything for web, and I will slice my layout sometimes, I always get little doubt about should I slice my stuff using GIF’s or should I go for JPEG’s ?

People mostly prefer to use GIF’s as it is made for internet but some times I discover that JPEG’s output comes smaller in size than GIF’s.
