Many will ask.....What is the difference between a JPEG and PNG?

The main difference between JPG and PNG is the compression algorithms that they use. JPG uses a lossy compression algorithm that discards some of the image information in order to reduce the size of the file. ... With PNG, the quality of the image will not change, but the size of the file will usually be larger.


I havent noticed this myself.  I guess it depends on the software you use to process RAW to JPG.  In an earlier post you mentioned you used Darktable.  Could it be this that is the issue?
