Week 6 Muddiest Point

I wondered about PNG format-- some programs can't seem to handle PNG images. Is this due to it being a newer format and we just need to update to account for it, or is the format more complex than, say, a GIF? I'm still not sure I understand why it's the "best of all worlds."

yes, PNG is relative news, so some systems still have problems to handle it. "best of two worlds" refers to that it is able to handling millions of colors and at the same time it is a loseless compression method
