Format of included PNG images

Hi, I read that most programs convert PNG images to JPEG images while creating PDF files. Is this also true for ConTeXt/LuaTeX? What happens when PNG images are included? Regards Marco

The only time this will (or should) happen w/ any program is when creating a .pdf w/ a specification which sets pixel images to use compression JPEG compression. I don't believe there are any pdf-creating tex implementations which will reprocess images in this fashion (normally they're simply encapsulated in the file as is).
