Image Insert: Preferred graphics format | Blank spaces?

[WUTiger]

I did a review on the Shotmaker (Harrison) and inserted some graphic images in the text.

I assembled the graphics in PowerPoint, and then saved them in *.JPG. They came out OK, but the resolution is a little grainy, especially on any text.

For the posting software we use, is there a preferred graphics format that works better than others? Also, is there a software website with tips for using it more effectively.

Also, when I inserted the image into the review text, the images had a couple inches of deadspace at the top and bottom. The images - when saved to *.JPG - had white space above and below on the page, or out to the side. Is there some way to eliminate the "dead space" above and below the images?

Thanks.

JPEG is fine. JPEG with a ton of white space made in PowerPoint might not be very good. As you said, they seem to be grainy and have a lot of whitespace.

The graininess isn't bad. If you can get rid of the white space and edit your review, I'd consider trying it.
