Can DB Classic display JPG files or are BMP's the standard?

DONT use JPGs if you have to have black as transparency. Since JPGs lower the image quality, you will have specs around your image that are not true 100% 0,0,0 black, thus making an image look all nasty when you hide the black.

personally I like .png because it has losless compression, as well as an aplha-channel for nice transparency.

Thanks for the comments.

Two more items . . . (1)What syntax is used to load a JPG and (2) How do I remove this message so as not to clutter up the number of inactive messages in the list of forum questons.

(1) LOAD IMAGE "picture.jpg",1 OR LOAD BITMAP "picture.jpg",1

(2) you don`t...someday, someone will have the same question and do a forum search, thats when they find this post and it solves their problem, if it got removed then we would be answering the same questions over and over forever (though sometimes it seems like we do )

1: P4 hyperthreading 3ghz, 1gig mem, 2x160gig hd`s, ATI radeon 9800 pro gfx, 6 way surround sound, 2: AMD 1.2ghz, 512mb ram, FX5200 ultra gfx, stereo 16 bit soundblaster, ups.

I think the best way to stofre images is memblocks.
You can compress them and you can put varuos images
in one file.
