jpg compression does some horrible things to pictures especially if you try to 
resize after cropping or doing anythign to them really.  Why not stay with png?

It appears that you were replying to an existing thread, but this
message is not part of the other thread with the same subject line.
There are two possible causes of this.  Either you created a new mail,
and pasted in the subject and quotation from the other, or your mail
client, which appears to be Yahoo web mail, is broken.  If it was the
former, then please don't do that; use the reply function instead.  If
you did use reply, then Yahoo needs contacted about fixing their broken
mail client.

That is a good point. And I might add that it takes only one minute to
convert a file from jpeg to png (manually).

OTOH if someone is looking for a background on the net, there are far
more jpegs than pngs available. And jpeg is supposed to work with
grub2. And today I have some free time or I would not be playing with
grub2!

Well, converting from JPEG to PNG is really pointless since it won't
improve quality at all--the details already lost in JPEG compression
can't be recovered.

Well, yes. The point of converting is when grub2 for some reason
displays png well but cannot display jpeg - conversion then is a
workaround.
