Off topic but needed to be said.
If you are looking at creating line artwork, JPG is by far, the
____absolute____worst____ file format to use for saving your data.
JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) uses a very lossy algorithm for data
compression that works great on continuous tone photographs but it really
looks like @#$% on line drawings.
PNG (Portable Network Graphics), TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) or GIF
(Graphical Interchange Format) are all of them lossless and perfect for line
drawing. Yes, the file sizes will be a bit bigger but you will not loose
data. Deal with it.
