&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;i&gt;if it should be converted to PNG or JPEG by analyzing the picture and figuring out if its a drawing or a photograph.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Which would you use for which? And why?

&lt;p&gt;Both formats can represent either. JPG can be more compact; but is lossy. PNG is non-lossy and does a pretty good job of compaction commensurate with not throwing away information. 

&lt;P&gt;For my taste, png is a far better format for either; but "best" depends completely upon your criteria?
