A long time ago we looked into the issue of saving images. This short article is really helpful to decide what format to use in each case. Enjoy!

A small screen capture tool that allows you to take high quality screen captures with excellent support for Windows Aero Glass effects.  In HQ mode, Shotty can capture a selected window with full alpha transparency and save it as 24-bit PNG file, which allows you to merge the image with any other background while maintaining the Aero Glass effect. Shotty can capture the entire desktop, a selected region or a specific window. The program includes a small image editor that lets you crop or resize the capture and also offers several annotation options. You can highlight areas, add custom text, blur selected areas and insert colored or semi-transparent rectangles. Other features include support for delayed captures and image watermarks, integrated uploading to a temporary hosting service, an auto-save option and more. Recommended by DigitalInspiration
