Vintage. Cursive italic. Iron gall.
I realize that the jpg format is a lossy format, but any good editing app or suite should have controls over the amount of image compression and the quality of the image as it is saved. When you choose to weight this to 100% quality, there is very, very little compression and I would be surprised if anyone could detect differences between the original and the jpg. I save all my photos for posting in jpg format, after keeping the original. The fact is that jpg is the most universally supported image format, and has been for a long time, for display on the web.
On a side note, after never using any of the MS browsers I've recently been using Edge, and it is really quite good. I'm not doing a lot of work with it and nothing sensitive but while it may be that my Firefox is a bit weighed down by my many add-ons, the fact is that Edge is a zippier app for my browsing use.

Deb,
Have you tried Chromium? (its chrome with LESS google)
Personally I have a mac and an iPad and an iPhone so I use safari and it generally does what I need it to while not commoditizing my data.

You didn't see all this irrelevant shenanigans: "it is difficult to dig into the internals of closed source systems, so debugging is going to be much more difficult. Two, as the guide notes, Windows uses backslashes for paths and that can prove problematic." ? Complete nonsense with regard to my difficulty.
If I have really important photos I want to keep, then I shoot them as raw images, but for posting online and in emails I make a small, nicely cropped .jpg as well. Once I've made it there's no need to edit it (I can just make another) and it's fine to post in emails or onto online sites as everywhere accepts it. It posts the right way up and doesn't take an age to load.
You don't need large images for online use. 900 pixels wide is plenty, and you can always crop them first. If you hate jpegs then you could try .png or .tiff images.
If you want to post a picture on FPG you could try using the Manage Attachments box rather than bringing it here from an outside app. It's easy, straightforward, completely erasable and only goes down when FPG goes down. I have thousands of image attachments uploaded that way and all of them are .jpg's.

Thank you, Chrissy. I do use raw images for landscape but it would be overkill for pen photos. I don't know where the issue of size came from; it isn't a problem for me. Posting to FPG isn't part of the problem either. I'm perfectly happy with Fotki. It's best for me because I post to several other places where there is no internal app.
If my difficulty were to recur with the browser I'm using now, I would change to .png - I may do that anyway.
