Yes, Mental Image - never never never use jpgs with masks! However I do use jpg for my graphics, with an alpha channel stored in a seperate file and combined at run time. The reason is that you can get the files really small and I want my whole game to come in at <10Mb. Although my graphics are photographic; if they were cartoony an indexed palette would give you the smallest file size.
