If you start using version 3.7, it now default to PNG.
Version 3.7 is available in the "beta" download page, but at Relase
candidate 7, it's very stable and robust. It offers tons of advantages
starting by the ability of using all your cores when rendering an image.
Switching to version 3.7 is very highly recomended.
You can change the file type in the master Pov_ray ini file by adding
+fn (for PNG)
+fj (for jpeg with chroma subsampling OFF, but not recomended as it's a
lossy format)
+fc (compressed TGA / Targa)
+fe (openEXR high dynamic range) version 3.7 only
+fh (radiance high dynamic range) version 3.7 only
+fp (PPM)
+ft (uncompressed TGA)
Those switches can also be used on the command line. In the Windows
version, it's the text line next to the resolutions sellector.
It's recomended to render in a non-lossy format, such as PNG, and
convert the resulting image to another format using some external
conversion tool if needed or wanted.
