Hi, Bruce,

  Nope - by default POV-Ray will output 24-bit or truecolor images. Jpg is
24-bit but has undergone a reduction in file size using file compression
techniques. You can easily convert the default .bmp or .tga (if you're using
POV-Ray for Windows or MS-DOS) to .jpg or .gif using third party programs
such as Paint Shop Pro v5 or CompuPic. There are other image
conversion/editor programs available but I have no experience with them.
