Save to PNG? (For best image quality on Facebook)

[Robert Catto]

Hi Kirk - long time user, first time requester (that I can remember, anyway!);

Just wondered if it would be possible to add .png format to the Save menu, for making watermarked scaled images for Facebook & other social media use.

As the good folks at Photoshelter pointed out here -

- it seems the best way to beat Facebook's compression algorithms is to send PNG files to the site, rather than letting them re-compress a .jpg; but there isn't an easy way to watermark & export those the way I've been making .jpgs for years.

What are my odds?  Thanks,
R!

While it would be fairly straightforward to add, we're already deep in features for PM6 so it is not likely we can add it for PM6.

Ah well. Maybe PM 6.0.1?
